Music, Movies, and Books

Me gustan muchos tipos de música, especialmente el hip hop. Las películas independientes son buenas, las pelis de Jarmusch, Wes Anderson, los documentales, etc. Unos de mis escritores favoritos son Steinbeck, Cortázar, García Márquez y Zadie Smith. Pero hay tantos! Entro a las librerías y me pierdo.
