Personal interest

Cooking, motorcycles, reading, parlour games (i.e. Das Schwarze Auge, Warhammer), military strategies and everything concerning Garfield. Since September 2008 my intrests focus on my little daughter Saskia.

I suggest the following books for reading: Barbecue, The Silmarillion, The God Delusion and of course all works by Terry Pratchett, Jim Davis, Joscha Sauer and Holger Aue.
