I study English and Literature and therefore love all kinds of texts.
Some of my favourite books are:
* Milan Kundera - The unbearable lightness of being (so, so brilliant, it's my bible really)
* Haruki Murakami - The wind-up bird chronicle (I think his best novel)
* Philip Pullman - His Dark Materials Trilogy (just so amazing and griping!)
* Henry James - The Turn of the Screw (fantastic!)
* Herman Melville - Bartleby, the Scrivener (simply astonishing)
* Alexander Pushkin - Eugene Onegin (so beautiful language!)
and many, many more: Hermann Hesse, Janet Frame (esp. Faces in the Water) poetry by Emily Dickinson, Blake....
Besides I love 60ies/70ies psychedelic rock!!! ...when music was still great: Jefferson Airplane,
The Doors,
Grateful Dead,
Neil Young,
Country Joe & the Fish,
Cat Stevens (Harold & Maude soundtrack)
The Beatles ...gone psychedelic
the young Santana
Hendrix
Joplin
Richie Havens
....
some contemporary stuff is good though:
Radiohead
Sigur Ros
Björk
Calexico
Postal Service
....
and my favourite movies:
* Natural Born Killers
* Harold & Maude
* Lock, Stock and two Smoking Barrels
* Bondi Tsunami
* Heavenly Creatures
* Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin)
So if you know more books/music/films that I might enjoy, let me know. |
