Music, Movies, and Books

I am into literature and prefer reading to watching movies, I love the smell of new books, old paper book for me is much better than my Kindle haha :)
My favourite books are Shantaram by G. B. Roberts, Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keys, books by Stephen King, the poetry of Izdryk, Lina Kostenko and Serhiy Zhadan etc.

I like different music: rock, jazz, classical, alternative, indie
