Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to all sorts of music, classical through to the not so heavy punk. I tend to lean towards chillout as I travel though - Lemon Jelly and Lamb are currently my current travel companions.
Books - Love Hitchhikers Guide the Galaxy, Lord of the Rings, Magician, Peter Carey, Jasper Fford's 'Thursday Next' series, Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall and sequel, Margaret Atwood (some more then others - particularly loved Oryx and Crake)
Movies: South Park, Matrix, City of God, Being John Malkovic, Hero/House of Flying Daggers, Pulp Fiction, and 'girlier' films like Before Sunset/Sunrise, Lars and the Real Girl and Amelie :)
Also enjoying the occasional Bollywood flick as we travel through India
