Hmm.
A Kindle or something like that with infinite memory and every book EVER- I love reading and real books, but you can get a whole library on that. Highlights include the entire back catalogue of Neil Gaiman, Steven King, H.P. Lovecraft, The Gormenghast trilogy (should keep me done for about 3 years), and Mills and Boone.

Lots and lots and LOTS of factor 50 suncream.

A piano.

Your book list deserves to be mocked.

Yup.
Only read one Steven King book, quite like it. Easy to read but quite fun. I read Titus Groan when I was 12 and it has since been the weirdest book I've read. Took bloody ages. And I love Neil Gaiman.
And you need PornLite.

If you like
Lovecraft and King you might like Richard Matheson too. He wrote I am Legend and Stir of Echoes, both been made into bad films but the books are brill! :)

I've not read much Lovecraft yet
Hence wanting to spend eternity catching up.

LOVE "Shoggoth's Old Peculiar" though. There's a YouTube of Neil reading it, it's hilarious. Basically an American tourist ends up in Innsmouth and gets pissed wiht the locals.

Ah gotcha!
My chappy is really into Neil Gaiman, I haven't read anything by him yet, there on the list of books to read along with all the Terry Pratchett's!

A piano is my second instrument choice.
But I have absolutely no idea how to play one.

Maybe it'd be better than a guitar, in that you could weather-proof it.
(, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 11:19, Reply)
I find piano harder and easier than guitar
On the one hand, you press a note on piano and BING. You leave tuning to professionals.

On the other hand, the nightmare of two hands moving independently of each other. Seriously. I'm a spaz at rhythm.
EDIT: I know the guitar does that, but I can't explain how I find it different. Maybe both hands are producing notes and you can play a lot more than about 10 notes maximum per movement thingy.

With a guitar,
You're working both hands together to get one note/chord.
With a piano you could have a fuck-load more going on at once, I guess.
(, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 11:23, Reply)
I used to play guitar.
I don't like how you can produce the same note multiple times in different positions (e.g. open string = string above on 5th fret). It confuses me.

Piano is lully when you get it right though. Occasionally you click and it's great.
