My favorite book ever has to be Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. The reason I like it so much is because I feel I resemble the main character, Holden in a few ways. For instance Holden very much so values innocence but yet he isn’t exactly innocent himself. I connected with this book very much, especially because of what I was going through when I read it. I believe something which can make any book better is when you can find a personal connection in a way to the story and or characters. Then in a way it almost feels as if the book was written about or for you. Either way, Catcher in the Rye is a great story and it qualifies as a book I wouldn’t mind reading again!

Favorite movies? That’s a tough one. I guess to answer this best I’ll have to say my current, recently released favorite. Then I’ll talk about my favorite classic and then one of my other favorites! So currently, my favorite, recently released movie is Horrible Bosses. Yeah yeah it came out many months ago but having it on Blu-Ray is like relieving the humor and entertainment I experienced in the theater every time I watch it. What makes this movie so great is the unexpected writing style of it combined with the great actors, semi-adult humor and action. Everything about this movie is just straight out done well. My favorite classic movie of all time is a tough one as well. Honestly, I’d have to say Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I love this movie. Watching the day unfold and how Ferris manages to get away with things is hilarious. Also another favorite movie which goes along with the time of the year right now would be, National Lampoon’s, “Christmas Vacation.” The movie follows the Grizwald family through their very interesting and stressful holiday season leading up to and including Christmas. It’s a very funny story perfect to watch with the family for the holidays!

I surprisingly don’t have a “favorite” genre of music. I will admit I find myself listening to rock alternative more than other genres but honestly I like anything besides modern country music (regurgitated pop music). In one day I could go from listening to the soft, mellow acoustic stylings of Bon Iver, straight to the hard rap of Kanye West. Some of my current favorite artists are Coldplay, The Foo Fighters, Rage Against The Machine, The Killers, Mac Miller, Drake, Kanye West, Bon Iver… as you can see a huge diversity in music. As far as classical music it’s not that I don’t like it or anything, I just don’t find myself listening to it often. I respect the genre greatly though.  To sum it up, there aren’t many genres of music I dislike and the genre I find listening to most often would be Alternative/Indie/Rock.
