Music, Movies, and Books

Music - anything outside the easily digestible. tends towards the heavier/punk/metal side, but I'm open to anything that wouldn't be heard on the radio.

Movies - quality films that stray slightly off the Hollywood path, South Korean, Japanese, European films, anything with a little grime or misery

Books - Dune, the aSoIaF series GoT a hold of me... Lately a lot of Cormac McCarthy, and I've been trying to go through the 100 greatest sci fi novels on audiobook, any TTC great courses lecture series
