About me

My hobby is reading books, especially fantasy and SF. I am a fan of such fantasy novelists as J.R.R.Tolkien, C.S.Lewis and Ursula K.Le Guin.
I also like Ray Bradbury.
My username, Rei Urabe, is actually taken from Ray Bradbury.
Both Rei and Urabe are ordinary Japanese first and family names, and they sound a little like Ray Bradbury.
My other hobby is drawing pictures using a graphics program PhotoImpact.
I also use Terragen. I'm distributing pictures of my own making on the Internet. http://lunar.littlestar.jp/stardust/index.html
I also like some manga and anime, but I'm familiar with only a few titles.
Now I'm studying English, mainly by reading my favorite books such as The Lord of the Rings and other daily news in sites like CNN or Time.
I have another site dedicated to English practicing.

I'm pretty good at cooking, especially Japanese dishes!
Thanks for reading!
