Things I Don't Mind The World Knowing

Spoiler alert: I'm thinking my next book will be about...
The most interesting academic secret societies and the best restaurants in the world with a Chambre Privée. I'd also like to publish The History of Paganism and Why Light Beer is Just Wrong (or the story why Guinness should be luke warm).
Everyone needs to know about these authors and artists...
Ulf Lundell, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, Hemingway, Thompson, Tolkien, Hiassen, Kinky Friedman and alikes.

Musically it goes Gene Krupa, Miles Davis, Gilberto, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Rush, Soundgarden, Green Day, Gotan Project... That is jazz, latin jazz, bossa nova, progressive rock, grunge, electro tango...
This book is addictive. Read it. (At your own risk.)
A Moveable Feast, Les Fleur de Mal, The Rum Diaries and Lord of The Rings.
