About Me

My photo
hifidel
I am a literature teacher at a private university. That's why I mostly write about books. I love to read nearly anything, but when reading fiction I have a soft spot for fantasy and science fiction. I love to read poetry, good essays, and plays from almost any era. I have wide interests. I like to watch baseball, I love to cycle, I read, and I write poetry. I have lived overseas for all of my adult life, and now pretty much split my time between Singapore and Shanghai. I love to travel, and have seen a lot of places. I do, however, still have a lot more to see too.
