Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Interstate 60, Gone with the wind, Dear John, Hunger Games, The Box, Glee, Eat Pray Love

Music is my everything: Marvin Gaye, The Servant, Phoenix, the kooks, The calling, New Radicals, Michael Buble

Books: Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, Richard Matheson, Arthur Conan Doyle, I. Brodsky, John Fowles, Dave Barry, Proff literarute (marketing, public speaking). I prefer international authors to Russians. Russian literature is too serious, tragic and depressive for me.
