Somehow I missed this topic! I am very into animals-- I have a horse of my own, and I volunteer a few hours a week working with rescued farm animals, which is my favorite thing in the world. I'm getting into vegan cooking and baking, although I could stand to be a lot more adventurous with my vegetables.

I also love reading, buying, owning books. I will never get an e-reader!

Carrotcake, I agree.  Besides, books don't require batteries.

One of the things I do periodically is go through every book I own, and get rid of the ones that I don't plan on reading again.  I donate them to the local Library Book Drive, or pass them on to friends and family.

Meantangerine, I hate e-readers! Actually, the reader itself isn't awful (my BF has one), but I just despise the concept. I like being able to turn the pages, hold the book in my hands, see it on my shelf, see how much I've read and how much I have left. It does not translate at all to the electronic format.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel too!  I may try out an e-reader at some point, but I doubt I'll like it as much as reading a regular book.

Besides reading, going to the library, collecting books, reading fanfiction, etc...I enjoy watching what I consider to be quality television and movies.  I guess I just love anything that tells a good story!  I also love to cook and bake (too much probably!), spending time with good friends or my cat, drinking wine and beer in moderation, and exploring museums/areas of historical significance.

I'm not as physically active as I should be...currently trying to remedy that and lose some weight at the moment.  I especially enjoy yoga classes, zumba classes, kickboxing, pilates, and nature walks.

You're not the only one.  I don't take them either.
