Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a real music lover! On my playlist you can find all kinds of music from classics including Bach, Vivaldi, Chopin and Tchaikovsky to Coldplay, Sting, Lenny Kravitz, Justin Timberlake or Jay Z :))

I love movies as well. And I'm a big fan of David Fincher's filmography. My favorite films of this director are: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fight Club, Gone Girl, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Se7en, Zodiac.
Also on my list of favorite movies there are: Leon, The Shack, Shutter Island, Black Swan , La vita è bella, The Wolf of Wall Street, Seven Years in Tibet, Collateral Beauty, Une rencontre, Forrest Gump, Closer.

I adore reading too. My favorite writer is Stieg Larsson and I adore his triology: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo / The Girl Who Played with Fire / The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Also I was really impressed with "Shantaram" by G. D. Roberts and "The Thorn Birds" by Colleen McCullough.
From Russian Literature I especially love poetry. My favorite poets are Anna Akhmatova, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Marina Tsvetaeva, Brodsky, Bella Akhmadulina, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, Andrey Dementyev , Zinaida Gippius etc.... :)))

Also I'm a huge fan of Japanese poetry - haiku! It's the most amazing form of poetry I've ever read. I read in translation almost all haiku poems by "the Great Four:" Matsuo Basho, Masaoka Shiki, Kobayashi Issa and Yosa Buson.
