I love to read.  I read everything from classics to modern horror and science fiction.

My favorite authors are: Edgar Allen Poe, Victor Hugo, Gaston Leroux, Stephen King, Raymond Carver, Agathie Christy, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and Thomas Harris.  By no means is this all I read.  These just happen to be my favorite.  I also read Amy Tan, Michael Crichton, Ray Bradbury, and John Grisham.  I guess I read too much.

I love to also write.  I have written a few short stories, but nothing major.  I have written alot of poetry.  I have many former professors who feel I should try to publish them, but I do not feel ready just yet.  One day I will try though.

I am also a big comic fanatic.  I have been collecting comic books and related memorabilia since I was 6, and I don't see myself quitting anytime soon.  I became more of a professional collector when I was 12.  I love Spider-Man, X-Men, Batman, Strangers in Paradise, and Sin City.  By no means is this all I collect in terms of comics.  These just happen to be my most favorite.

There are quite a few links that I generally use in terms of comics.

Here are sites I check most often:
 
 

I also love Japanese animation and I collect many anime.  My most favorite shows are Maison Ikokku, Marmalade Boy, Gundam Wing, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Lupin III.  I have such a strong interest in anime, that I have begun to learn Japanese.  Below are a few links to some sites related to anime.
 
 

Here is a sound file from a movie called Tenkuu no Shiro Rapyuta by Miyazaki.  It also known as Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
