I don't really watch any TV and I don't see a lot of movies so I'm very easily amused by moving pictures when they are around. Recent favorites are Fitzcarraldo, The Saddest Music In the World, and A Fist Full of Dollars
I like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Paul Bowles and Haruki Murakami. Also anything about the wild west, pirates, or the founding fathers.
