Musik, Filme und Bücher

For music there are far too many to list. In general, I gravitate away from mainstream. Lately, I've been into classical music: Mahler, Scriabin, Debussy, Wagner, Glass, Riech. Also Fela Kuti and the afro-beat that he spawned, anything funky, John Zorn-Masada, Herbie Hancock, Talking Heads, Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Radiohead...to name a few.

Favorite authors: Borges, Huxley, Orwell, Gandhi, Thoreau, Tolstoy, Crowley. I also enjoy books of spiritual wisdom, particularly the Bhagavad Gita and the Tao Te Ching.
