Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Yes please! I'm an omnivore with music; everything goes. Just to mention a few genres: Indie, Rock, Bluegrass, Country, Oldies!

Movies:
Snatch, Whale Rider, Wanted, Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amélie Poulain, Once Upon A Time In The West, Shawshank Redemption, Frida, Pride & Prejudice, Boondock Saints, Fight Club, Perfume, Ocean's Eleven etc., Sin City, Walk The Line, and many many more. And I'm a sucker for vintage vampire/werewolf horror. :-)

Books:
Way to many, I don't have any more space to put them. On my bookshelves (a random pick): World Literature, English Classics, books about Art(s) & History (Medieval), Sociology, Non-Fiction (a lot!) and Harry Potter (great series, intelligent writing).
