Books

[edit]

Titles in bold are highly recommended. I've begun adding ISBN's to the books listed here. (If I think a book should be read, I should make it a little easier to find a copy, right?) Where two ISBN's are listed for one book, it means I read the book in hardcover (probably via a used book store). Usually the second of these is the ISBN for the paperback edition. See also, my full booklist.

I now have a list that points to some of my favorite bits of text on Wikisource. It's located at User:AnnaKucsma/From WikiSource.

History

[edit]

The following books cover various aspects of history.

 

 

Fiction, Literature, and Drama

[edit]

This section is shorter because I honestly don't read as much of it.

Movies

[edit]

These movies I thought were above averege enough to make a point of listing (which is why some classics and/or really popular movies don't show up here -- either I haven't seen them or I didn't think they were worth the hype). The ones in bold are the ones I think you should put some effort into seeing.

 

Music

[edit]

Though unable to play a musical instrument, I enjoy listening to various forms of music. My favorite genre (as a whole) is Celtic music, including such groups as Altan, the Battlefield Band, Cherish the Ladies, and Solas, and the Celtic Fusion band Shooglenifty. Recently, I had a chance to hear Natalie MacMaster play a lively, if damp, concert five minutes' walk from home as part of the Celebrate Brooklyn festival. I sometimes listen to rock music, such as the French group Autour de Lucie, and I am not averse to classical music, favoring contemporary composers, such as Aaron Copland.

Album recommendations

[edit]

The list below contains various albums which I recommend. Again, the ones in bold are the short shorter list.
