Music, Movies, and Books

Have just finished a book by Kazuo Ishiguro. Am big fan of Franz Kafka. In terms of movies, like all genres, though have a soft spot for gangster flicks (Once upon a Time in America being one of my all time favourites) Have eclectic taste in music, ranging from rock, to jazz (I used to play the saxophone) and back to classical.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving, at 15,000 feet over Lake Taupo, New Zealand
