Hey I'm Lyla!
Russians, slavs, garlic bread, grilled cheese, the Weekly World News, school, any language, thoroughbreds, books! (especially 16th century European literature), old things, museums, Romanian orphanages, private schools, Utah, abortion, comedy, anti-dreadlock associations, cleanliness, filth, satire, animals made to look like other animals, alphabets, and essays.
The Piano Man, Rocketman, and Tambourine man.
I don't add bands or musicians! I like all music with a funky beat that makes you move your feet. I like all music with an attitude that makes you lean over and whisper to your friend "Whoa this is BAD-ASS dude!" I like all music written by old crusty white guys that wore wigs and practiced jigs. Alone. I like all music composed in the basement, because that's where all the bass went. I can stand root tootin' music, but I'm sorry, I don't like the Grateful Dead.Some artists I enjoy (in no order): Radiohead, Snoop Dogg, Cveta, Neutral Milk Hotel, Buddy Holly,Tenacious D, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Dima Bilan, Van Halen, the Deftones, Slayer, Fiona Apple, Chris Isaak, Damien Rice, Meshuggah, Rage Against the Machine, Ruki Vverh, System of a Down, Stevie Wonder, Tool, Mozart, DJ Shadow(he's really good but I just realized how cheesey his name is), Thievery Corporation, Tracy Chapman, Yoyo Ma, The Tokyo Philaharmonic Orchestra, Ray Charles, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Ivy Queen, Frank Zappa, Bob Marley, John Lennon, George Harrison especially, Modest Mouse, 3 6 Mafia, David Banner, Manu Chao, The Queers, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, that's all I can think of right now but I'm there are tons more.
Most people don't like my music, but I don't care I rock out alone!

Everything by John Irving.
Look at that mug.
Just so you know though, his new book isn't a great representation of his writing. It's not that impressive, I would suggest the Cider House Rules or A Prayer for Owen Meany. Phillipa Gregory. A Clockwork Orange (the movie fucking sucked, don't try to tell me otherwise if you haven't read the book first), 1984, A Brave New World. Lolita. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?(AKA Bladerunner). Kafka on the Shore. Underground. I, Elizabeth. From Pieces to Weight. Freakonomics. Madame Bovary.
Everyone. Buddah was awesome as well, as well as Ghandi. My family, and my horse. Mr. Carey.Che Guevara is NOT a hero, he is just like Fidel Castro only for some reason the media and Rage primarily has made him into this glorified figure. He was just like any other crazy communist revolutionary. Don't assume he's awesome.
