Music, Movies, and Books

Hmm let's start with books. I've spent all my childhood and half of adolescence reading, so I love everything from Ulysses through Tolstoy and Gogol till the Hobbit.

Music: I'm not really a music gal, but Radiohead is the best.

Movies: a lot of Fry and Lory, Monthy Python, How I met your mother, zombie movies and movies about the end of mankind
