Allan Marain’s hobbies include reading, mathematics, philosophy, sociology, computers, aviation, movies, and physics. He also likes animals and music. He enjoys playing chess, checkers, bridge, hearts, scrabble, backgammon, and monopoly.

Allan’s readings include both fiction and non-fiction. His non-fiction readings typically relate to the hobbies listed above. Allan’s fiction readings include humor, science fiction, and courtroom dramas. His two favorite science fiction authors (now both deceased) are Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov.

His three favorite courtroom novels are The Caine Mutiny, by Herman Wouk; To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee; and Anatomy of a Murder, by Robert Traver. John Grisham novels are not among Allan’s favorites. He finds too much fantasizing in them. It’s not that Allan has anything against fantasizing as such. For example, he’s a real Batman fan, and he enjoyed all three Terminator movies. But what he dislikes is fantasizing in something that tries to present itself as plausible.

Allan has a commercial pilot’s license and is a Certified Flight Instructor. His most recent aviation project was to obtain proficiency with Bendix/King KLN89B Global Positioning System (GPS) navigating equipment. He flew regularly from Central Jersey Regional Airport (47N) in Manville, New Jersey. Allan grounded himself in 2002 when he found that he lacked time to fly regularly and thus maintain sufficient proficiency. However, he maintains his flight instruction certificate and occasionally lectures on instrument flying. He looks forward to resuming his flying at some future date.
