See, I'm envious that you have someone you can go listen to your cathartic music with. Shame about the Iron Maiden - I bet that cost a bomb too. Still, it's good that it's music that I can grok a taste for, as opposed to, say, gangsta rap.

As for Lois, alas... not quite the thing one reads to each other on those snuggled-up evenings unless you're both fans. Although here's a selection of quotable quotes (http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Lois_McMaster_Bujold/) for an inkling of why Jerrie and I are so inclined.

For bedtime reading, I have a fondness for school-girl stories, actually. Real ones. It's all in the reading. :-)
