Interests as of late

Lately I have been once again drifting back to the subjects I love the most:: sci-fi, history, astronomy and music..
I have finished three books in the last two weeks: "Lost worlds of 2001", "2061: Odyssey Three" and "3001: Final Odyssey"... also I have been looking at astronomy related stuff, especially meteorites, comets and asteriods and in music my eclectic tastes are showing up again. I believe it mainly depends on my mood but I find that I keep going back to Walkuere Act II (Wotan's narration), Walkuere Act I and Parsifal Act I along with the whole of Tannhaeuser. I just find it hard to get into Tristan und Isolde in my present state of mind.

Oh and I am mixing that beautiful, meaningful music with more agressive, introspective music like Metallica's "And Justice for All" album and isolated Metallica songs (Fade to Black, Battery, and especially Until it sleeps and Unforgiven). And on the subject of 2001: A space odyssey I have been also getting into Gamma Ray's "Somewhere out in space", which is based on that novel/film.

I would like to know if I will ever experience the highest emotion (don't want to say its name but it begins with L) again. I think I am every time drifting away from it but I don't discard it yet.
