I used to be a drummer/singer in a rock band that I wrote music for. Music is still a huge interest in my life, I still write songs and record them from time to time, and usually they get released, amazingly enough... but it's more of a 'special' place now than an overwhelming all-engulfing activity

In my teens I devoured 'Three Comrades' by E. M. Remarque, since, apparently, I'm a hopeless romantic. But my fave is probably C. Sagan's 'Demon Haunted World', because of the impact it had on me and how it opened up my mind to the reality of things. Nowadays I enjoy an occasional Stephen King or John Grisham nove or anything sci-fi or psychology!

Californication, Breaking Bad, Homeland, Masters of Sex, Battlestar Galactica, In Treatment, Lost, Halt And Catch Fire
