I like to fix and grow things.
Compulsion, basically, the same with editing (teaching is fun and pays money). If I'm not making or tinkering with something, I get cranky. (Crankiness occurs at other times, but this kind is easiest to remedy.)
Penelope Fitzgerald, James Joyce, and Mary Robison come most immediately and forcefully (and alphabetically) to mind. Books (same listing method): Edisto, The Master and Margarita, Suttree, Ulysses. I know I am forgetting things. This is not new.
