There is so much more to discover off the very beaten pub crawling tourist track here in Berlin...

I love Soul from the 60s, Disco from the 70s, Pop from the 80s, Rock from the 90's, Electro from the 2000s and not too much from today's music (except for some Folk and Shoegazer pop). Favourite writer to date is probably Stanisław Lem. Also: Russian contemporary novelists such as Samjatin and Pelewin. I generally indulge in literature that opens a window to unknown countries and cultures. So, travel writing, may it be contemporary or ancient, easily strikes a chord. I give non-fiction literature a hard time usually, but was quite riveted by Piketty's "Capital in the Twenty-First Century". I recently was very close to tears watching Fatih Akin's "The Cut".
