I looove reading posts wherein the writer raves about one or more of their favourite things. I always want to try them out for myself, despite the fact that with people being individual in their likes and dislikes, it's rarely going to work for me in the same way.

Just this morning spookysqueak was describing an ancient video game I've never heard of, but I wanted it, then and there, to have my way with it. For hours...

I get a lot of my book recs. in the same way. On the Westeros.org board, I spend most of my time in the literature section, prowling around for something new and exciting to try. Often, I'm disappointed, but so what? What's the alternative? More of the same for ever and ever?

Musically, an impassioned friend can turn me on to something cool. A recent example, would be mollydot 's love for Amanda Palmer. I'm really enjoying her Who Killed Amanda Palmer album right now -- intelligent and intense, like a good cheese... or something...

So, more of that sort of thing, says I. Be enthusiastic. Love everything!
