Music, Movies, and Books

Music: What I broadly call "hipster" music, mostly indie folk, pop, and/or rock
Movies: Deciding between Casablanca and A Bug's Life is a daily struggle
Books: The Chinese classic Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en is my favorite fiction, but I also love me some good Bible
