Music, Movies, and Books

Books- absolutelly everything! I read a lot and do reviews for several magazines and websites. It's mostly novels but due to my PhD I read also quite big number of science works (history, history of architecture, philosophy etc.) It is hard to say something about favourite authors, but to name just three- Remarque, Dukaj and Szołochow
As for music- mainly rock and indie, but also good pop and classical
Movies? Good will hunting would be among favourites :)
