I love reading, music and movies....photography Currently music is a car thing.. I drive daily 70 Kms about 44 miles daily to come to work and go back home.. so always with IPod plugged and checking for new music on webs.... At the office sometimes and depending of our mood we have BBC One or news.. but for me radio is for music I cannot handle too mucho talking on the radio!!
Movies... I have been out of them for a while... just yesterday watched JOBS (I read the book)
but Reading....I can be Reading all day long... Currently Reading a book from a novel Spanish writer..and enjoying it too much... when finish this one I have 30 more on the E-book so not really sure about which one will start...
The last books that I have read were:
The Book Thief The Cuckoo's Calling
Photography is something that I'm starting with... and so far great pics!!! specially on holidays

I love photography but haven't been doing nearly enough of it (except Ethiopia). I used to do weddings/portraits and the like but the stress took the fun out of it so I stepped away. I still shoot from time to time with a few friends as a 2nd or 3rd shooter, that is fun, no stress, don't have to get the 'must have shot's just the candids.
I go through waves on reading. I'm a fast reader so I'll devour a series in a week if its good. I mostly read fantasy and religious books. What a pairing, hah!
Given who I work for, I also read Steve's bio and saw the movie. Both very good with lots of truths and a good bit of sensationalism in them!

I'm a library mouse... that's an expresion in Spanish not sure if it exists in English... I found that JOBS movie was not good enough just because it was imposible to express in 2 hrs all his life...
I read almost everything...when I start even if I don't like the book I finish it... Sometimes also re-read a book...
Few months ago I read again 100 years of Solitudine...saw a girl on a plain with it and decided to read it once more!

Like Brad, I go through waves on reading. Thrillers mostly, but other genres too. I also love to watch series, such as The Shield, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Over There, and many, many more. Photography is a hobby for me, too. I've contributed to stock photo websites and sold quite a lot. Then there's my garden, I love to plan how I'd like it to look and grow flowering plants from seed. And animals, I'm quite passionate about animals (pets and nature). i always wanted to be a vet, from 4 years old and up. At high school I wasn't very good in physics, math and chemistry. The school advisor convinced me it wasn't a problem to drop one of these classes, and still study veterinary science. I dropped physics, and 2 years later when I was ready to go to a university, it turned out I couldn't apply for a vet study without physics Here's a picture of my garden in summer And flowering plants at the backside of our house
Some more garden pictures here.

Here a hobby photographer too especially nature and animal photos. I love animals, I have been riding horses for 15 years and as a kid my biggest dream was getting a pet. Got 3 now, 2 dogs and a cat I'm an avid reader too, especially since I got an e-reader and got over 10k e-books with it. I also like watching tv, playing games (both computer and console), listen to music... just basic stuff that most people probably enjoy to do in their spare time.

Hate to be different but I don't like reading, the only photography are the amateur pics of my kids and dogs. I don't listen to music, but I do play the piano. It's odd but I enjoy playing rather than listening. i love drawing, pencil sketches, I'll share one some day. i dabbled in the violin, clarinet, bass guitar, saxophone, but they were fads, I always went back to the piano i love animals, countryside, and I was an avid star gazer until we sold my little celestron telescope. at the moment, all I watch on tv is peppa pig And occasionally (I NEVER miss an episode thanks to the tinternet) sneak a peak at corrie, eastenders and emmerdale.

I used to read a lot, often exchanged reading ideas with Jenny, but since I became a mother don't have the time to sit and really enjoy a book, so no reading for me, except all of the fairy tales stories of Disney! Love knitting, not very good at it, but love to do it. Tina, I know the feeling, Peppa pig is also one must see here at home, also Curious George. Love music, specially The Beatles and 80's music. But listen pretty much everything.

Jon reminded me of this with his death from above butterflies. I'm sure it would look very fitting on his farm. Posting here, as it's one of my many hobbies, painting warhammer mini figures. They are only an inch or two in height so very fiddley, but worth a pretty penny when painted well. and as mentioned before. I like to sketch, here are my doggies

Tina, your eBay shop may not be a hobby, but what kind of stuff do you sell?

Ooh lots of stuff. We started out with warhammer figures, you wouldn't believe it but a small figue like the one about can go for £50 Then we went Into making carbon fibre car parts, (that's real carbon fibre, not stick on carbon vinyl) More recently we do personalised baby vests, and vinyl stickers. Carbons on the back burner at the mo, untill we find somewhere more suitable for making it..
At one point we did car number plates, but there proved to be little profit in it towards the end.

I love it Chantal, and I have never heard of zentangle. I believe you to be more creative than I considering you created that yourself. I always need something to copy. I can draw landscapes, still life, draw from photos... But I can't think up something off the top of my head. There is not creativity in copying, but I'm good at it so I will stick with it!
