About Me

My Interests

books. beer.

Movies:

Movies that I watch repeatedly: before night falls, trainspotting, fear and loathing, amelie, the english patient, down by law, the sheltering sky, lost in translation

Actors/Actresses who I enjoy: ralph fiennes, daniel day-lewis, john malkovich, gary oldman, bill murray, emma thompson, lena olin, juliette binoche, helena bonham carter.

Television:

If you watch the history channel for long enough, you'll realize that WWII is the ONLY thing that has EVER happened. The rest of history is a complete blur.

Books:

sheltering sky, moby dick, blood meridian, most by knut hamsun and hermann hesse, wolf solent, in search of lost time by proust (i haven't finished it (all 4, 000 pages) but I've read the first three books and love them deeply, autobiograpy of red, another roadside attraction, william vollmann, a month in the country, neverness by david zindell, faulkner is dauntingly depressingly good: especially Light in August, japanese authors: Mishima, Kawabata, Oe, Murakami. Short stories by Donald Barthelme, Chekhov, Borges, Thomas Bernhard, and Samuel Beckett. In recent news, Paul Auster is the second coming of Beckett. Only, he's easier to read.

This is my library:http://www.librarything.com/catalog/Stig_Brantley It's a work in progress.

Heroes:

He can take one step and be in Las Vegas. It is forbidden.
