Music, Movies, and Books

I generally do not distinguish the music and listen very multilingual musics. My favorite musics are generally in English and Turkish but my favorite song is “миллион роз” from pre Madonna of Russia :)
In general I really like to watch movies at least twice and three times a week and I am fantastic movie addicted particularly Marvel movies. I cannot even distinguish which one I love the most but apart from my favorite movie is “American History X”.
I can say that I am a real bookworm. My favorite authors are Franz Kafka and Stefan Zweig. I think I read all books of them and I even moved to Czech Republic for a while for leave in the city that Kafka describes in every his books. I also learn German to read their books in their mother tongue.
