Book-wise I like Nabokov, Waugh, Hemingway and Franzen often, the
essays of Amis and Foster Wallace. I've been reading 2666 for about
as long and I know it's good for me but I confess I have doubts.
I'd like to throw a Secret History themed party.
Films: Secretary, The Big Sleep, The Wackness, I Am Love,
Chinatown, El Secreto de sus Ojos, Los Lunes al Sol, Persepolis,
Drop Dead Gorgeous, Clueless. Haneke is a creep, but I love him.
I'd say my crushes are Audiard and PT Anderson. Mmmm dark hearts
and noir.
Music: Though most can't abide it, deep house is really what I
crave most at sunrise. Then Fever Ray, The Knife, Antony and the
Johnsons, Nico Jaar, Grimes, Whitest Boy Alive, Kings of
Convenience, Burial, Nas, Maya Jane Coles. The soundtrack to Oh
Brother Where Art Thou?
The Wire comes close to being my politics televised. The Sopranos
was great; Mad Men equally. I'm horribly behind on the Scandinavian
trip.
