Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything immersive - music, books and film. I'm not reading enough at the moment because of the PhD, but in the past I've found short stories a perfect mini escape - I recommend Angela Carter's Fairy Tales, James Joyce's Dubliners, Anton Chekhov's The Lady with the Dog. Hm. Must get more short story anthologies. I love live music, my most memorable gigs are Stars of the Lid on a boat in Lyon and Bon Iver at the Serpentine Sessions .

Teach, Learn, Share

...ask and I'll give it my best shot!
