French dude with some family roots in Germany, Scotland, Spain and Jacob's folk. Temporary exiled in London.
29 going on 92 (and still single, for my mother's sorrow).
Economist, and trying to get a MBA with some success, yet failed historian and writer.
Tolkien fan for nigh twenty years, especially First Age. No fan movie, beware me!
Other authors:
For Fantasy and Science-Fiction: G.R.R. Martin. Mary Stewart. Marion Zimmer Bradley. Julian May. George Orwell.
Add to them: Robert Graves. Gore Vidal. Mary Renault. Marguerite Yourcenar. Umberto Eco. Victor Hugo. Gustave Flaubert. Alexandre Dumas. Jules Verne. Isabel Allende. Arturo Perez-Reverte. And a lot more.
My hobbies: Books, Music, Movies. Honestly. Oh, and RP-aolic. But RPGs are no hobby for me, just my second life.
What I love: France's motto: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity -- and Secularism.
What I hate: See above and guess.
My Quote:
The Sin of Silence.
In Germany they came first for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me -- and by that time, there was no one left to speak up.
Martin Niemüller, German Priest (wrongly attributed to Bertold Brecht -- Anyway, I love BB too!).
