All kinds of arts (since 1950's -- except for Dada's, Surrealists, Pre-Raphaelists and Symbolists !) / Musix (underground and indie's only !) / Movies (Hollywood excepted) / Literature -- mostly black novels, but... / Sick humour or non-sense / Erotix of all kinds... Can't swim and hate all kinds of sport(s) ! But like to cook (chinese, japanese, mexican and/or indian food)
Cool people with same interests and tastes, and/or get in touch again with lost friends...

(NOT YET) Help me to choose !!! (or, who knows, "Betty Monde" by Coralie Trinh Thi... probably...)My greatest "coups de coeur" : SIXTY-THREE CLOSURE by Anthony Frewin, MISO SOUP by Ryu Murakami, ALL FAMILIES ARE PSYCHOTIC by Douglas Coupland, 1974 by David Peace and CHILD OF RAGE by Jim Thompson. Also love writers like Katy Acker, W.S.Burroughs, Peter Sotos, John King, Harry Crews, Ted Lewis, James Crumley, Stella Duffy, Virginie Despentes, Richard Brautigan, Rudolph Wurlitzer ... and many many many others ! And also books about arts and movies (my girfriend has given me "Passage" for my birthday, a book about Andy Goldsworthy's land art work... Great !)
Jerry Rubin, Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Hunter S. Thompson and (obviously again) Bill Burroughs... But "NO MORE HEROES ANYMORE"...
