Favorite Items
Favorite Books What a nightmare trying to reduce it to five. I contented myself with the knowledge that many of my favourite books are on the lists I have created! A lot of my favourite authors just didn't make it because of space, like William Gibson, Philip Pullman, Charles DeLint, Gene Wolfe, Louis de Bernieres and Patricia Geary. Special mention should be made of the Magic in History series published by Pennsylvania State University Press though, it is one of the top highlights of recent years in esoteric academic publishing. Also I must include Aryeh Kaplan as one of the great Kabbalists of recent times.
Favorite Music This was a hard choice to make, there are so many other singers and bands and musicians I like! Shriekback had to be at the top of the list, but selecting five pieces of music meant leaving off so many fantastic albums by artists like Captain Beefheart, Faith & the Muse, Afro-Celt Sound System, PWEI, Rickie Lee Jones, The The, Aimless, Kate Bush, Zone, Death in June, Jimi Hendrix, Popol Vuh, The Doors, QNTAL, Cyndi Lauper, The Infinity Project, the list goes on and on!
Favorite Movies Another set of nigh-on impossible choices. Malpertuis is just amazing, particularly if you can get the full version, it has some of the qualities of Cocteau, combined with Greek myth! I am also a fan of classic oldies, and had to resist the temptation to put films like Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Left Hand of God in this list. And of course as is obvious I love horror. There was a huge list that could have gone in here, but I chose a couple of films that had their own classic twists.
