Anything placed in central London will be photographed hundreds of thousands of times. The same thing somewhere else can easily not get much attention at all but put it in central London and countless photographers will be swarming around it day and night. Here five people are photographing this plastic sheep next to St Paul's at the same time. Can you see all of them?

Ha! That's probably true.  Mind you I'm a Sagitarius we're fiery to begin with. 


You don't read any fiction?  No Romance, Sci Fi stuff, Action, detective novels, Westerns, Spy novels, nothing? 


OK what about like Historical fiction or whatever their calling it these days..Or satirical fiction?

Nope, not anymore. I am not getting anything out of reading stuff someone dreamed up anymore. Life seems too short to me to do it these days. I know it is unusual but this is how feel and how I do it. I do read non-fiction or fiction from which I get "non-fiction" value, say Dostoevsky's The Grand Inquisitor or Lewis's Screwtape Letters (just random examples which spring to mind). I definitely cannot spend time reading stories about say someone killing someone else and then getting found out which someone invented. Ditto some inexistent creatures doing impossible stuff, I only have a couple of decades left to run around, see and do stuff, ha ha. Some people in my family love fiction though.

Oh, and I do not believe in horoscopes either, ha ha.

It's not so unusual, I have met people before who do not read most fiction.  None of my three brothers read fiction.  One of my brother's loves reading history books, the other two don't read at all unless it's on Facebook.  


I don't take Astrology too seriously.  The whole of one's life is not written in the stars.  We are masters of our own fate for the most part.

I still read two or three books a month but non-fiction ones. History too.
I do not know if it is written (also) in the stars or not, even if it is I do not want to know, there would be no value for me to know ).
