    <about><![CDATA[I love books. My favorite genre is Sci-Fi, but I also enjoy fantasy that's not too fantastical, like historical fantasy. Within Sci-Fi, I enjoy Space Opera and Alternative Histories most: big stories that span many volumes. History and historical fiction are also favorites. Especially anything to do with ancient civilization like Rome, Carthage, and the Greeks. When I'm not reading, I like to ride my mountain bike and practice the martial art Tai Chi.]]></about>
