Most things by Bill Bryson / A streetcar named Desire (I know, I know, it's a play but it's fantastic, so I included it...).

Music:
Hurt - Johnny Cash ( I know it's a cover but he sings it with great feeling....)
Tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel - Barenaked Ladies
I'm a fool to want you - Frank Sinatra
Original sin - Elton John
One for my baby - Frank Sinatra (Sinatra again, I know but this is my favourite song...has been since I heard it for the first time when I was about 14 (which is a long time ago), so that must mean *something*)

Pretty much anything by Johnny Mercer, what can I say, I admire the man fervently.
Most of the album "Buttercup Bugle" by Lori Cullen (Box of things, Clearer weather, lopin' through the cosmos and China sea are stunning...)

I'm fairly eclectic but I find myself returning time and time again to Sinatra, especially his Capitol years....

What I do for fun:
Cook, travel, read and, on occasion, I try to write but it hardly ever leads anywhere
