What does Peter like?

Seeing as how I am too busy to make web pages on all those things I like, I decided a cheap cop-out would be to simply make a list of all those things that I like, and perhaps let the gentle reader form his/her own opinion of me based on such a list. Seeing no reason not to do so, I have thus made a list and it will be updated frequently as I think of more things.

The list is in no particular order. Also, the distinction between the "Authors" category and "books" category is that an author is listed if and only if I like almost all of his/her work. If an author is already listed in one column, but his work is listed again in another, then it means I really liked that particular work.
