Music, Movies, and Books

I generally listen all type of music as far as I like it.But I prefer to listen slow music.

I am learning to play baglama( local anatolian instrument) so obviously I love to listen anatolian folk/county music . I can play for you some of the song I learnt:)

I regularly read books. I am trying to finish classic books but time to time I read contemporary authors as well. My goal is to read the best books as much as possible

Some of my favorite books;

Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky,
Aleksi Zorba by Nikos Kazancakis,
The Remains of The Day by Kazuo Ishiguro,
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hossaini
The White Ship by Chinghiz Aitmatov
…

I am type of person who try to watch good movies but end up with trashy YouTube videos:)) Well not all the time though. I have a watchlist to follow. I love movies with the unexpected ends.
My all time favorite is "the man from earth"
