Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not so sophisticated in regard to films and music - most of all I like superhero movies and listen to almost all sorts of music, I'm not so choosy :)
But it is totally different with reading: I read a lot and prefer classic or modern migration literature. The list of my favourite authors is long and boring, but here are the best of the best for me: Honoré de Balzac, Bertolt Brecht, Iris Murdoch, Salman Rushdie, Kazuo Ishiguro.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can draw a funny caricature or comic - and you get a perfect opportunity to laugh at my Russian accent, of course :D
