only one day late this week, here’s the friday five.

  1. what is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)? — just about everyone knows this has to be science fiction. i’d also say that science literature, in particular astronomy related, ranks up there in a very close second.
  2. what is your favorite novel? — it’s really hard for me to think of a favorite novel in particular but i do have a favorite series of books. the foundation series by isaac asimov.
  3. do you have a favorite poem? (share it!) — not off the top of my head, i’m more into inspirational quotes actually. if you refresh any of the pages on my website you should see a new quote at the top. these are from a small library of quotes i’ve collected over time that moved me in some way when i read them.
  4. what is one thing you’ve always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read? — a book by ayn rand called atlas shrugged. every time i start reading that book i lose interest and have to put it down for a few months. i’ve heard from quite a few people that it’s a great book but for the life of me i can’t get through it.
  5. what are you currently reading? — i have an up to date indicator at the left of this page, but for historical sake i’m current reading a few books at once (a train, before bed, and a change of pace book). star-hopping, the demon-haunted world, fats that heal, fats that kill (in order by type)

next to astronomy and biking i’d have to say that reading is one of my favorite hobbies. i was pleasantly surprised to partake in this weeks friday five.
