Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment I'm mostly listening to music in Spanish, different kinds, one of my new favorites is Jarabe de Palo. Also like Ricky Martin, Reik, Estopa, Macaco, Ska-p, Sin Bandera, Fangoria and of course Michael Jackson. And reggae. And disco music sometimes. Everything fun. Favorites forever of course include Muse, The Cure, The Smiths, Morrissey, The Dandy Warhols, Savage Garden etc.

I like to read good books but not too often. I love Dostoyevski, Tolstoy, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Tove Jansson, Erlend Loe. I usually like the classics. Recently I read a good book by José Saramago.
