Keeping up appearances
Yes, British comedy series are definitely my favourite TV shows.
Books:
Anything by Robert Ludlum or Dan Brown. It's always the same but always good. Apart from that also:
JRR Tolkien - Lord of the rings (no, I don't like the movies)
George Orwell - 1984
Franz Kafka - The trial
Some Dutch stuff nobody will have heard of:
Maarten 't Hart - Het woeden der gehele wereld
Tim Krabbé - De renner
And when it comes to comics you can't beat Calvin and Hobbes.
Heroes:
Anybody involved in the things mentioned in the music, movies, television and Books sections. You know who you are.
