Music, Movies, and Books

I'm gonna try not to make this section too overwhelming and limit myself to 3 answers for each category.
How many categories is too much though?

• Authors I devour: Paul Auster, Philippe Besson and Bernard Werber.
• Books I have read more than once: Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Back, Memoirs of Hadrian by Margerite Yourcenar and Le Château de ma mère by Marcel Pagnol.
• Graphic novels I recommend : Maus by Art Spiegelman, Peter Pan by Loisel and Les Terres Creuses by Luc and François Schuiten.

• Music of my teenage years: Pink Floyd, Brigitte Fontaine and Michael Jackson.
• Bands I saw live: Dream Theater, Anathema and Poliça.
• Artistes I listen to all the time: Serge Gainsbourg, Aaron and Jocelyn Pook.
… this list could go on forever!

• Film directors who never let me down: Kim Ki-duk, André Téchiné and Pedro Almodovar.
• Films I can quote the dialogues of from memory: Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Grey Gardens and Le Libertain.
• Series I have watched again: Rome, Malcolm in the Middle and Ab Fab.

• What about radio shows, magazines and documentaries? Well, since you're asking, I have to mention This American Life on NPR, Philosophie Magazine and Paris is Burning!
