Music, Movies, and Books
"If music be the food of love, play on." says William Shakespeare so I love all types of music but especially ones which are able to capture your soul and change your mood at once.
As for books, here are the 10 that inspired me the most are:
1-The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald
2-Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson
3-Letters from and American Farmer byJ. Hector St. John de Crèvecœur
4-The Odyssey by Homer
5-Bless me Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya
6-The Scarlet Letter by Nataniel Hawthorne
7-La Coscienza di Zeno by Italo Svevo
8-İtalya'da Bir Türk Sevdim by Cristina Comencini
9-I Malavoglia by Giovanni Verga
10-Masumiyet Müzesi by Orhan Pamuk
When it comes to movies, mostly I like to watch cult movies that are popular for everybody. Also during my stay in Italy, I discovered the sense of humor combined with emotionality and incredibly beautiful soundtracks decorated with the amazing landscapes of italian movies!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I climbed up to the craters of the Vesuvius and Etna volcanoes in Italy, picked volcanic stones and felt the freezing weather on top in May!
