About Me
I like reading books on history, politics and some fiction. One of the last fiction books I read, that I really liked, was City of Bohane by Kevin Barry. I enjoy listening to lots of types of music from Irish trad, some country, electronic music such as techno, drum and bass, electronica, ambient and minialmal classical music. I like watching films from blockbuster fair such as marvel universe, some arthouse, thrillers and dark comedies. I'm generally fairly easy going but ready to help out when I'm needed.
