Like I said, I mostly read non-fiction history. I'm intersted in a lot of different subjects: Ancient Rome and Greece, American history, Latin American history, English history, Irish history, Russian history, Japanese history, general military history, etc. etc. When I read fiction, it's usually historical fiction.



I also enjoy some literature. Love Shakespeare, the Greek tragedians, Dostoevsky, Camus, Nietzsche.

Well, I suffer from social anxiety and depression, and both have gotten very bad and have really screwed up my life. That, and a rather bad emotional breakdown a few years ago left me almost at rock bottom--I won't say that I WAS at rock bottom, because I believe that however bad thing are, they can always get worse. Anyway, these days are going much better, medication has helped with the depression, and I've found a place that will help me get ready to get a job. But it seems like there is still so far to go. But at least, finally, things are looking up.

Stupid commercials. I feel like it must be the goal of every advertiser in the country to insult my intelligence. There are products I refuse to buy because their commercials were so stupid.

The state of moviemaking today. Don't get me started on this, one of these days I'm going to see a stupid commercial for a stupid, immature movie soon to be released, and I'm going to throw my TV at the nearest screenwriter.

Reading, mostly non-fiction, mostly history. Movies. Some computer games.
