Music, Movies, and Books

I am keen on listening to all types of music, but my favourite ones are Queen, Rod Stewart, Elton John, The Carpenters, Iron Maiden among many. From my country I like, "La vela puerca" and "No te va a gustar". As far favourite movies are concerned, I would probably choose, "In the name of Rose" and "In the name of the father". Concerning series, I love "Wire in the blood" "The big Bang Theory" and of course "Friends". Books any of Harry Potter but my favourite writer is Shakespeare, so I have read a lot about his work.
