- Summary:
- I read a lot (both in English and Russian), mostly sci-fi/fantasy and the occasional book on Rationality.
- If you want book suggestions, hit me up =)
- Movies are all over the place, the stuff I really love is not too well-known but I will happily watch any action movie or even the occasional chick flick.
- Music is mostly rock/metal/punk. I'll say upfront that I tolerate but don't particularly like pop/rap etc...
- Books:
- A book that I recommend to all my friends is Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality (http://hpmor.com/), wonderful fan-fic, so far better than the original.
- It is by no means my favorite but definitely one of the most enjoyable reads in the past year.
- Some of my favorites:
- The Sword of Truth series
- Isaac Asimov (all of it), Jim Butcher, Terry Pratchett
- Sergey Lukyanenko (Russian but some of his works were translated and I highly recommend checking them out)
- Boris Akunin (another wonderful Russian author)
- Conan Doyle
- Movies:
- I enjoy a variety of movies, from comedy to horror. I refuse to watch stupid movies though, there's a difference between comedy and idiocy. Too many good ones to list so ask and I'll give you a summary.
- Btw, if you want an awesome movie, see Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing" adaptation. I think it's a bit of a limited release but I saw it at TIFF (Toronto Film Festival) and it was awesome. Super-awesome.
- "Thanks for Sharing" is also awesome (follows sex addicts in "rehab")
- Music:
- Mostly rock, punk rock, alternative, some metal, some electronic, surprisingly some classical as well...
- My fave is actually The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack (I saw the show in London a while back).
- Bands:
- RHCP, The Offspring, Rise Against, SOAD, a whole bunch of oldies (Metallica, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Gunz 'n' Roses, Iron Maiden...), Disturbed, Zebrahead, Joe Satriani (epic guitar!), a few Russian bands.
- Current: Metallica, Lordi, Dream Theater, Van Canto
- Shows
- Current: Falling Skies
- Waiting for: Game of Thrones (second best show ever, after Firefly of course), Spartacus, White Collar,The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, Revolution, Castle, Arrow
- Done: Firefly, Dexter (not a huge fan of the last season), Chuck, Supernatural, Merlin
- Not an extreme fan of anime but I've seen a few. Claymore, Bleach, Code Geass, Freezing, Full Metal Alchemist, Hellsing OVA, Attack on Titan.
