"Call me Ishmael." 

Call me Mark.

Or Mad, or M (though I personally think I'm more of a James Bond).

I like books, and stories (preferably good ones), and you can probably see that I'm a big fan of brackets. I play piano, but I prefer listening. Less effort ;)
I would admit to other things, but I don't want to scare you too much.


Meanwhile, I hope you've worked out that I'm a guy, otherwise things could get awkward ... I'll throw the fact that I live on an island in Europe. Bonus! 

Gah, I'm so bad at this.

Bottom line:
I read,
I'm human (little sis disagrees),
I write.

So go and read something of mine. Dare you.
