I read mainly non-fiction books of all subjects. In the fiction area I usually prefer the classics and poetry. I also read many short stories (since I am writer and illustrator).

Music.... almost anything, specially Ethic music, Folk, Reggae, Dub, Drum & Bass and Jungle, Classic Rock, RnB, Hip & Trip Hop, Funk, Latin, Jazz....
