A book - the Gormenghast trilogy.

A film - Fight Club, or perhaps Shrek if you don't feel like being weirded out. I found Shrek to be absolutely delightful.

A band/album - Mezzanine by Massive Attack. I've never particularly liked this genre of music, but I love this album.

A website - http://www.h2g2.com or http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2 (same site)

An LJ or other online journal - smithi1 :)

Yes, but I already read your LJ :)

1. London: The Biography (but not one for the bus I'm afraid...) Read any Christopher Brookmyre? It's dark and it's funny. "Tartan Noir"
2. Wings of Desire, directed by Wim Wenders. http://us.imdb.com/Title?0093191
3. I suspect our tastes are worlds apart so I'll spare you... ;) Actually, I've just thought of something Heather Nova: Oyster.
4. http://chapters.hollowstreets.net/ Collaborative fiction.
5. http://www.notsosoft.com/blog/

A book -- Unquenchable Fire by Rachel Pollack (or if you've read it already, then Finder by Carla Speed McNeil -- Damian has copies).
A film -- well, obviously we've all seen LoTR. How about Ghost World if you've not already seen it? Sorry for the obviously comic-themed nature of these suggestions!
A band/album -- oohh, so many. I'm really enjoying Manu Chao's Ultima Estacion Esperanza at the moment, but your mileage may vary -- try Gorky's Zygotic Mynci instead perhaps?
A website -- I'm spending far too much time looking at weird fanfiction on http://www.fanfiction.net.
An LJ or other online journal (yes, I know these are also websites) -- you already know all the ones I'd recommend!

book - the harry potter series (if you haven't already red them), or smokey joe's cafe by bryce courtney

film - tank girl. it's a bit silly, but it's meant to be just a bit of fun.

band/album - carole king: natural woman (best of) - eva cassidy: songbird, or live at blues ally

website - dean and nigel (http:www.deanandnigel.co.uk)

lj - pumpkinlisa

A Book: Choosing arbitrarily from those on my bed right now: Stephen Spender, The Temple. Spender is better known as a poet; this novel is thinly disguised autobiographical journey theough Weimar Germany.







A Film:
Disney’s Atlantis (2001) (http://us.imdb.com/Details?0230011). Lots of 1914-esque science-romance technology and flying blue fish vehicles... I think this is still doing matinées at George St.







Ask Alex about bands and albums







A web site: Most of the sites I visit are either work-related or I found out about them via one of our frients. How about Joe Phillips (http://joephillips.com/) He used to draw comics for DC (like Superboy) but now specializes in drawing variously-undressed young men for people who like that sort of thing.






A journal: Joel on Software (http://joelonsoftware.com/). Discussions of how to write software from someone who often seems to know what he’s talking about
