What are your hobbies?
Reading–Whenever I get the chance, I love to dig into a good book. I love fiction!
Music–I enjoy listening to all types of music. I also enjoy playing the piano and do so as often as I can.
Movies–I love movies. I prefer seeing movies in the theatre, but will watch them on DVD or VHS too.
Shopping–I love shopping for clothes and stuff for our house. I love shopping alone and with others.
What is your favorite book?
There are SO MANY books (fiction, non-fiction, novels, plays, short stories) that I love. If I absolutely HAD to, I think I might choose Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird . I was first exposed to this book through the Gregory Peck movie–one of my favorite movies. I identify with this poor family struggling to make it in a small town, standing up to injustice and racial prejudice. The characters of Atticus, Scout, and Jem are beautifully written, and the story is compelling.
