About meInfrequently employed literary hustler pawning blood for pretzels and pens, same old story. Itinerant idiot also, rarely up to any good. Whispering poetry to the stars at all times, as if they're listening. Wish I was drunk every second of every day but even that gets boring. Often fall into ultra turbid depressions and stay in bed for thrirty-eight hours straight. "If you go home with someone and you look around their apartment and don't see any books, don't fuck them." - John Waters

No, I haven't seen Mike Leigh's films but I've heard of them. I'm actually very picky when it comes to movies in the independent genre. Some of my faves (off the top of my head) include "The Good Girl", "Ghost World", "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" among others. As for British films, it depends on what the movie is.

About half the books you list are ones I'd still like to read (ie; '120 Days of Sodom") but I'll get to them eventually. Thanks for sending a friend invite

Thank you for your kind comment about my library. We share quite a few books, considering 63/201. Can you recommend "Lullaby" by Paluhniuk? To those well-read, I recommend David Mitchell, especially "Ghostwritten" and "Cloud Atlas".
