Favorite games include: Final Fantasy series (particularly 4 and 6), Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, the Fallout and Oblivion series, and many more! As you can probably tell, RPGs are pretty popular here!

Favorite books: Can't pick just one, but fantasy series such as Dragonlance and Lord of the Rings are up there. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are particular favorite authors. Any books about my favorite games (such as the Japanese-language Ultimania series) are also great. However I do like a variety of genres, especially educational and nonfiction books. You can pretty much always find me with a book of some kind.
