Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like to read in English. Some of my MUST are : Catch 22 (J. Keller), the Master of Illusions (Donna Tartt), Life of Pi (Yann Martel), Arthur and George (Julian Barnes), Creation (Gore Vidal), Middlesex (Jeffrey Eugenides), The Darling...
I'm more a book person than a movie or music person, but I like it too ! World music and jazz, especially with women singers, tzigane (Bregovic), old stuff (Janis, Beatles, Bob Marley...) and electro that makes you dance (Franz Ferdinand, Moloko, Basement Jaxx, DJ Champion), What I really like too is to sing old or french music (the kind of songs everybody knows) with someone playing guitar by a fire...
Movies...mmm. I like to be surprised, to laugh or cry, to get new ideas...But since I live in Germany I don't go very often to see a movie..Doesn't matter, I catch up at home with old ones, the classics and stuff !
