I'll never profess to know much about the inner workings of music. I know my ear, and I know what I like. So, I go on from there.

I enjoy reading more than I enjoy music.

My current favorites:
Rozhdestvensky conducting Shostakovich's Symphonies
Richter and Gilels in Prokofiev's Piano Sonatas
Steppenwolf's Steppenwolf
The Rolling Stones's Let it Bleed

If my hand was forced, I'd say my favorite piece of classical music is Bruckner's Ninth Symphony, the conductor doesn't really concern me here.

I think I covered a fair enough amount, if not, ask, and I shall do my best to quench.

Yes, this is the 'bunny' guy. I simply have a different type of bunny as my image this time.

I sometimes wish I were so single-minded, or at least able to state what I want in such unequivocal terms. I have such a hard time choosing between my interests that sometimes I end up doing nothing at all in frustration! :D What writers (assuming fiction) do you like?

I am, at the very least, able to state exactly what I like and dislike, but I always allow room for evolution.

I read a scattering of fiction and non-fiction, but I am much more a fan of fiction.

My current favorite is Vollmann, such a massive writer. I also adore Ellison, Beckett, Kafka, Cela, Svevo, and on and on.

In non-fiction, it really just depends on what I'm interested in, right now I'm reading some books on gender.
