I sometimes think my list of (mostly) current interests, after my friends and family, reads a bit like Borges' famous list. My list includes:
jazz, classical music, sea stories, chess, civil rights, First Amendment freedoms, historical fiction, Shakespeare, GBS, George Orwell, Morocco, Arabic, French, law, newspapers, The New Republic, Tingis, Le Nouvel Observateur, Poetry, poetry, The Odyssey, Elizabethan literature, Scotland, Walter Scott, William Butler Yeats, military history, model ships, cooking . . .
