Music, Movies, and Books

High quality, thought-provoking literature (Camus, Kundera, Sartre, Sacks, Fromm)and movies (by Tarkovsky, Bergman, Lars von Trier). I love listening to the RHCP, Zaz, the National. My favorite composers include Bach, Chopin, Mozart, and Mahler. Also, I love theater, especially "The Theatre of the Absurd".
