Been getting into some jazz myself too, but I've mostly been grooving: 1) Black Market, by Weather Report 2) Brilliant Corners, by Thelonious Monk 3) On The Sunny Side Of The Street, by Sonny Rollins

I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books. — Jorge Luis Borges

Been reading The Aeneid for a while. Just for fun. It's plenty good—granted, a simulacrum of Homer's twin magnum opus Illiad and Oddysey but works just fine enough for me.

Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. Man, what a rollercoaster—weird, funny and real serious too. I highly recommend his other books V, Mason & Dixon (which is even more funnier) and The Crying Of Lot 49.

Well, quite a lot of poems are romantic, both literally and in describing that certain artistic movement. You got any favourite poets?

Rumi. . . now that sounds familiar. Rather familiar indeed.

Just happened on it browsing through the teeve, or so's how I remember. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I'm thinking of revisiting it too, at that.

All day, everyday, probably more than I roleplay.

I haven't gotten the album, Discipline that is, yet but from what I've heard so far, it's one of their more uncannily excellent albums, alongside their debut, Red and Larks' Tongue—what is more surprising is that they managed to hit their top bar with a sound that deviates entirely from their...

Doubtlessly: Court Of The Crimson King, their debut album—when I first listened to it, I was blown away. It was the prog rock album, quintessential and very impactful. While my feelings have mellowed since then, I still revisit the album every now and then. It's hard to get bored of it, I'll...

I listen to some jazz—Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis—, it's close cousin jazz fusion—Return To Forever and Weather Report—, and I listen to some rock—King Crimson, Yes—, and some metal too—Sodom, Napalm Death, Psycroptic, Death, Morbid Angel— alongside other genres too: of...

On the contrary, I would consider surrealism and dadaism to be precursors to postmodernism—which I believe roughly started from 1939 and onwards with The Third Policeman. Though some parts of beatnik literature (alongside Latin magical realism and the existentialist Camus-inspired Theatre of the...

Mob Psycho, Black Butler and Monogatari crop up on the peak of my favourites.

I'm currently investing in the 20th century period, particularly the postmodernists such as: William Gaddis, Thomas Pynchon, Jorge Luis Borges, Umberto Eco and Roberto Bolaño. I'm also trying to get a handle on the early magical realism movement, starting with Carlos Fuentes and Alejo...

Don Delillo's White Noise. There's humour, witty dialogue and the author's usual brand of postmodernism. A good book, all in all.
