Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like rock, mainly metal and punk. Some of my favorite bands are Anthrax, Black Sabbath, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Celtic Frost, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Deep Purple, Eskorbuto, Entombed, Helloween, Hypocrisy, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Napalm Death, The Misfits, La Polla Records, The Ramones, Ratos de Porão, Razor, Soziedad Alkoholika, Strapping Young Lad, Venom.

Movies: I like to watch sci-fi and horror movies mainly but not only. Some of my favorites directors are Dario Argento, Tod Browning, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, David Cronenberg, Lucio Fulci, Alfred Hitchcock, Tobe Hooper, Alex de la Iglesia, Stanley Kubrik, John Landis, David Lynch, José Mojica Marins, Takashi Miike, Roman Polanski, Sam Raimi, George A. Romero, Guillermo del Toro.

Books: I like to read belles-lettres, but I'd rather read specialist books on language (dialectology, sociolinguistics, linguistic history, etc.). I like Medieval and Golden Age Spanish literature, just like Cantar de mio Cid (The Poem of the Cid), Libro de Buen Amor (The Book of Good Love) or Don Quijote de la Mancha (Don Quixote). My favorite modern author is Fernando Vallejo.
