    <about><![CDATA[<br/>I generally hover over certain topics that I'm really interested in, or topics that I've discussed with someone.<br/><br/>I have a hard time with fiction, which is a shame.  I'm more into reading books that follow the author's thought processes in a pretty logical way.<br/><br/><br/>I hope that my persistent itch to go deeper into these topics brings me closer to God.]]></about>
