I like see the big picture. I’m interested in how events impacted people and how people impacted events, so I like to read a lot of non-fiction especially of historical eras and/or events. But, in a twist, I do like to read fiction that relates a ‘what-if’ factor, like what would have happened if the D-Day invasion had failed. Astronomy is another strong interest because it attempts to answer where everything came from and what may well happen in the future. That often leads me to science-fiction, where speculation on some of the big astronomical questions can build some very interesting societies, worlds, or empires. I like just about every kind of music – from bluegrass to classical – and most genres of movies.
