Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite books are Dandelion Wine, Interpreter of Maladies, Into the Wild, and Life of Pi. Some of my favorite authors are Haruki Murakami, Michael Chabon, Ray Bradbury, and Jhumpa Lahiri.

I love a lot of indie music and movies - no specific genres, it just has to be good! Recently I've been listening to a lot of Chet Faker, Alt-J, Alabama Shakes, Jazz and folk-rock.

Some favorite movies include Baraka, Samsara, Mar Adentro, Amelie.
