I'm actually a fairly avid reader, though I tend to read in bursts. I try to read a variety of things. I used to read a lot of Sci-fi and Fantasy when I was a kid. I also read comics when I was a kid too. Now I try to avoid derivative genre stuff. I'm still fascinated by futurists though. I read non-fiction as well, I especially enjoy books about music and biographies. I also read history even a spot of philosophy when I can find the gumption.
At some point I got invited to join the Visual Bookshelf App on Facebook by Hilary or Julia. I actually went to my mom's house and put in hundreds of books I'd read over the years and had sitting on shelves there. Then I didn't seem to be able to do much with the data, such as display my current reading list in my blog's sidebar, so after learning about Goodreads, I moved my data over there. It didn't take much work thanks to import/export features of both websites. Now I have the Goodreads widget on this page recommending some of my favourite books for you to check out.
Over the years I've collected a large number of quotations from books I've read, magazine articles, websites, emails, song lyrics, and films. After about 15 yeras of posting them online, I finally made a web mashup of my favourite quotations. You should check it out if you're bored or looking for some inspiration.
Although it isn't a novel, I have a one act play online, it is a sample of my creative writing, something I don't seem to have enough time for, but one day hope to pursue with more vigor. It was probably funnier back in 1998, some of the jokes are a little dated now I guess.
