New Interests Needed....

If you're going to consider an MMO at some point, considering your prior interest in Final Fantasy I'd suggest Final Fantasy XI Online. You can play on an Xbox 360, but I would never recommend a platform that has such a high failure rate.

As far as books, the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series is immensely convoluted. The final volume is being written from his notes (he died last year) and should be out in 2009.

Tried reading "Eye of the World". Didn't grab me. As for FFXI, I might, considering I have a bit of background from reading [GM] Dave. I'd do it on the PC.

If you're a self declared Cynic, you might get further with George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire. It's a series made for cynics.

Besides, Robert Jordan died before he finished the series - do you really want to get 13 books (if you include the prequel and companion) into the series and the find out that whoever they get to finish the series isn't up to the task?

Katherine Kerr's Deverry series is also worth a read. not nearly so cynical - but suitably epic and convoluted to keep your attention for a fair while if you get into it.

what about knitting or crochet? it's productive, you actually get something out of the time you put in and there's different patterns and textures to choose from.

Nah. Did all I was going to do with knitting when I used wool, a used toilet roll, and four ice cream sticks.

Try going to the non-fiction section of your nearest library and standing in front of randomly selected shelves until something catches your eye. It's what I do when I'm bored with everything, and it can work quite well.

I'm obssessed with Les Misreables!

It can get quite expensive with travelling to London, paying for the show, eating out and staying in hotels.

I wasn't referring to the victims. I have no interest in looking at photos of those who have been affected by radiaton. My interest is mainly historical, the abandoned soviet areas around the Chernobyl site are interesting as is the effect the radiation has had on local flora and fauna. I really became fascinated by this after reading the Soviet sci-fi novel Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Sorry if I came across as ghoulish or morbid.

I'm currently interested in evolution and autism, not together but as separate subjects.

He has a puzzle now (what he should develop as an interest). I'm not going to risk spoiling the puzzle by making suggestions.

Ever read Lovecraft? Phillip Jose Farmer? Harlan Ellison?

They all have quite a few books, and are very addictive to read.

Otherwise, I would suggest Sports Cars. Very interesting as far as design, and the men who created them, espicially Ferrari.

Yes. No. No. And NO!

No other suggestions?

I tried getting into Sherlock Holmes, but it didn't click with me, even reading an annotated omnibus. I'm thinking of Ripperology, but it's not grabbing me as much as an interest should.

you tried your hand at building and overclocking computers?

lmao!

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy?

Check all the editions out from the book, to the radio series, to the TV series, to the up-to-date film.

It's all good.
