1. autism:
   Obvious one - My Charlie is Autistic, hence the interest
2. buddhism:
   Got interested in Buddhism a few years ago, took an 'on line course', and have been steadily getting more involved in it as I go along
3. classic literature:
   The secret of classic literature that no teacher will ever tell you is that it was written to be sold. Therefore the person doing the writing was less worried about creating symbolism in the crashing of the waves and more interested in telling a good story. All the rest can be made up as you go along.
4. england:
   I want to go there. I've been an 'Anglophile. pretty much as long as I can remember. Couldn't pin point exactly why, but England is my spiritual home.
5. harry potter:
   When I picked up the first book it was because it was a children's story, and I enjoy reading them, it took place in the UK (see above)and I like fantasy stories. Now, while I still enjoy all the above, I also enjoy the sense I part of literary history in some very small way.

   I had just finished my first year of college when this movie came out, and the underlying theme of growing up and not wanting to really resonated with me. Plus David Bowie in tight pants.
9. miss piggy:
   Can't exactly pinpoint the beginning of my love affair with Miss Piggy, but it was possibly around the same time Miss Piggy fever was sweeping the nation. At any rate, I enjoyed her character very much, and still do. Hi-ya!
10. neil gaiman:
    When I first met my husband, he was way into reading certain comic books. One story he was following was Sandman by Neil Gaiman. One day he brought a bunch of the things over to read, and, curious (and bored) I picked it up. I was hooked soon after. Neil is an amazing story teller with a lovely dark sense of humor and a story-telling voice that borders on the mythic. And thanks to him I discovered Terry Pratchett, so that's a bonus.
