Being a culture-vulture, I'm interested in a variety of subjects such as

• poetry:
  C. S. Lewis
  The Arthurian Legends.
  Of course, I can't forget my namesake: Dante
  A living poet, very prolific: Pavel Chichikov
  

• travel:

  Then, see the latest CDC inspection results for your selected ship.
