Music, Movies, and Books

For me books come first although I can´t stay that movies and music are left far behind. It´s just I love everything connected to books: reading, libraries, bookshops, long conversations about literature and so on. There´s no specific type of books that I enjoy the most, usually it just depends on my mood and the atmosphere. Some books that I´ve really enjoyed are Dostoyevsky´s "The Idiot", "Cien anos de soledad" by G.G.Marquez, "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera, "The Legacy" by David Suzuki, H. Hesse´s "Steppenwolf". Anyways i´m always open for some good recommendations!

Movies that have appealed to me the most are La vita e bella, American History X, Tropa de Elite, El Secreto de Sus Ojos, Pulp Fiction, One Flew Over the Cuckoo´s Nest, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, Hotel Rwanda etc.

Listening to good music makes me feel good! Artists of whom I can´t get enough of: Fat Freddy´s Drop, Choc Quib Town, Massive Attack; indie, blues, funk, electroswing; a little latin influence accompanying all kind of jazz beats.
