I love reading about medicine and science but enjoy art as well such as fashion and home decor.  Reading is a big hobby of mine.  Everything goes in terms of what I like to read:  Fiction, poetry, essays, nonfiction, philosophy, medical journals, magazines, blogs, cookbooks etc.  I get satisfaction from expressing myself in many ways, including writing, cooking, beautifying my living space, and exercise. As far as religion goes, I read the Quran as if it is a book of poetry, which is what it is, rather than as a strict set of rules.  However, I do believe rules are also important in the Quran and Islam as a way of setting up boundaries, which are important for the operation of families and societies as a whole.
