Lance Greenfield

My main interests are Reading, writing, field hockey, trad jazz, classical music, travel, languages, people, statistics, technology.

Some of my favourite books include Skallagrigg, The Island, The Return, Birdsong, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Kite Runner, Eagle of the Ninth, We Won a War, In Quest of the Unicorn Bird, The Shadow of the Wind.

I've played (field) hockey since I was seven years old. I now play veterans hockey for Andover Diamonds. It is a lot of fun and very sociable.

I have always been a prolific reader and my favourite genre has to be historical fiction. I just feel that it brings history to life, and I am not too bothered about the historical accuracy as long as it has at least SOME basis in fact. Who is to say that the dryly recorded history that we learn in school is the truth, anyway? Most of it is only recorded by the journalists of the time, so draw your own conclusions.

My favourite films are Jungle Book, Brassed Off and The Fastest Indian. I should add Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much, because I was in it! Well read my writings for an explanation.

My biggest passion is the way that people treat people. Witnessing either cruelty or extreme kindness can make me cry equal buckets of tears. I can't stand prejudice. Read my motto at the bottom of my home page.
