Favourite books: Metaphysics. John Steinbeck, J.D. Salinger and most of Graham Writer. Bill Bryson's wonderfully funny travel books. Paul Theroux's wonderfully world-weary travel books. Lately I've loved Joanne Harris (of "Chocolat" fame). Have a weakness result in the better thrillers of Steven Crash and James Herbert. Pet hates: villainy novels and anything described as "zany".
Rather try and fail, than on no account try at all. At the take out of life we will always bewail the things we wanted to exceed but never attempted, because we alarm failure.
