Recent Book Activity

I'm a bioinformatics geek by trade. For fun I'm a foodie, motorcycle rider, soprano (both choral and soloist-in-training). I'm a couch potato by inclination, but I do ride a bicycle and may be taking up Kung Fu.

An avid reader, I have far too many books in my house - I'm beyond needing new bookshelves and into needing extra rooms to get the walls to put them on... I read SF, fantasy & detective genres, as well as general literature, politics, science, language and more.

I don't have a favourite author. I do recommend: Jane Austen, Alan Moore, Charlotte Bronte, Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, William Shakespeare, Laurie King, Margaret Atwood, Charles Dickens, Germaine Greer, Fanny Burney, Lawrence Block, Ursula le Guin, Stephen Jay Gould, Bill Bryson and many many many more.
