Getting old at 50+. You can call me anything as long as you don't call me late for dinner :p.

I read mainly nonfiction. Mostly ethics, sustainability, economics related. Sometimes I read some science fiction to blow off some steam. My Scifi/fantasy library is extensive.

Possibly the worst economics book I've ever read.
