Music, Movies, and Books

Can not mark any certain kind of music I like. Mostly it depends on my mood and, maybe, the period of life. However, I am enjoying so different genres, that sometimes they are absolutely opposite. Well, generally I like rock-music. I like power and black metal, which fascinate me with its complicated instrumental parts and extreme-vocal signing. I enjoy listening to Depeche Mode greatly. Highlite this band as I want to listen to them alive so much, and that is why waiting for their concert at the moment. I also like indie music and post-punk, but there are so many bands that I won't remember them all. Most of 80's-90's pop and rap hits also impress me. I am sure we will find the music we can enjoy listening together. During the time I am writing this description, Twenty One Pilots is playing in my headphones.
Music helps me while I am working, driving, doing sports. And as for movies and books, unforunately, I do not have as much time at the moment as I did some years ago for doing this. The last book I read was Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk. But the really most part of my reading purposes is kind of technical literature, connected with programming. It's complicated for me and that's why after that I don't have much free time at all. Almost the same thing is about watching films. I mostly spend the time by watching online programming lessons and training english. By the way, as for reading and watching, if I have an opportunity, I try doing that in original to improve my English. I do not have any good practice, so think that it's a good way to learn also. The last movie I remember, which I really loved so much, was Split with James McAvoy. I really liked him after Filth movie, and this one did impressed me greatly also! Like my attitude to music, I really like different films, from comedies to horros, so I usually look for a movie by its actors and rate, without thinking of what kind of film it is.
