Movies:

To be honest, I'm a quite moody person and my movie taste varies a lot. Sometimes I feel like watching some muggy movies that are of Ingmar Bergman, Pedro Almodóvar and some other European/Independent directors. But at the same time, I just adore every single work of Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli Studio. Besides that, I also love musicals!

Books:

I love reading anything that makes me appreciate the human mind and they are usually magical realist, surrealist/postmodern books.
Salman Rushdie, Haruki Murakami, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jack Kerouac and of course Hermann Hesse. and a little bit Kafka.
