What's Misty reading?

Since my childhood, I've never felt comfortable without a book close to hand.  None of my purses are so small a book won't fit, and I've often been seen reading while in line at the Post Office.  It's an addiction I hope I never get over.  I prefer fantasy and science fiction, but I also enjoy mysteries (especially those set in ancient times) and good horror epics (a little scare now and then is good for the metabolism!) 

Glen Cook - Cruel Zinc Melodies

Garrett is back!  I was beside myself when I happened across Cook's latest while wandering the bookstore, and I think I startled the nice lady shelving books a few feet over, but I swear - Garrett is worth it!  He's a mystery-solving gumshoe in the tradition of Marlowe and Spade, except that he lives in the city of TunFaire alongside elves, trolls and assorted fantasy creatures.   I fell head over heels for Garrett a long time ago, and every time a new adventure appears, it feels like Christmas. 

What's in Misty's CD player?

I have eclectic preferences in music.  What I listen to depends entirely on what I happen to be up to at the time.  When I'm dancing, it's Middle Eastern music; Tarkan and Omar Faruk Tekbilek, sometimes the more progressive Pentaphobe and Toids.  When I'm relaxing, I like rock (The Police, Pink Floyd and Evanescence) and classical (Beethoven and Bach.) 

Djinn - The Middle East Side

My amazing dance teacher brought this CD and the wonderful artists to my attention.  They play traditional rhythms and instruments with a modern American flair.  Finally American belly dancers have their own classics!
