Glad your spirits are elevating.

Awesome!

You're right about salvation: all you can do is open the door, the other person still has to choose to go through it. Which doesn't make it any less troubling.
You're the first person I've seen be excited about snow.

Sad, but true.
I have always liked to walk in snow falling through streetlights at night.

I definitely want the book.

i'd love to read whatever you put out there, Hell, your blogs are always so well done,

"Do you prefer particular literary genres?"

Yes.

glad your kitty is ok!!

"Do you read poetry? "

OH MY, NO.

"Are there certain topics that just don't interest you?"

yes. "reality" tv!

What makes a book worth reading?

I like to read books that contain ideas I've never thought of before.

What makes an author stand out?

Originality. Hard to do these days but really the litmus test for me. It doesn't mean everything about a book has to be totally original but it just has to have a new angle or a new take on something.

Do you prefer particular literary genres?

Science fiction. No other genre explores the borders of human thought in the same way. Also science fiction reflects on the way our society changes and explores possible outcomes of those changes. It's fascinating to read something that was written just twenty years ago and is already completely overtaken by reality.

Do you read poetry? Prose?

Prose. I've still got quite a few volumes of poetry from Eng. Lit. classes of yore in my shelf. But hey have remained unopened ever since.

Are there certain topics that just don't interest you?

Most of them, to be honest. Like celebrities, sports (OK, I watch snooker on the telly occasionally), almost everything that passes for popular entertainment these days, politics (I keep up to date, but most of the time it's just painful to watch the news), the everyday pettiness many people are so preoccupied with, and a lot of other stuff I'm so uninterested in, I can't even name it. And yes, I'm a card-carrying nerd.

By the way, some music tips can be found in my latest blog entry.

"How can I win your heart?"

*takes notes*

I've rated hundreds of movies, and Netflix's recommendation algorithm does get trained. It gets better for sure.

Net flix actually awarded 1M$ US for the best algorithm for recommending movies. So, pretty much, if it still isn't working, it probably never will. Two good ones me likey: Let the Right One In - best vampire movie ever made, but you have to not mind subtitles - and The Broken. But I prefer creepy flicks.

Oh my god, I LOVE it!!!!!! What a wonderfully creative idea!

You look impossibly cute, as is almost always the case. That second pic is priceless.

Happy Halloween!

That's a shame. Fangs and scales sound like a fine combination.

did you go as the creature from that movie Hisss?

Tu es belle avec les lunettes!

You look awesome both has human and vampire!
