book, movies, and musicians...

from time to time i will ask friends to make me a list of books, movies or musicians that i need to read, watch, or listen to, to be a more complete and interesting person. i try to get my hands on all of the things that i can off of the lists, its sort of a self-improvement/experiential thing.

i just figure what better way to get a list than from all of you out there in the net-dustry. so i would appreciate it if you would leave for me a list or a few suggestions of must-sees. there are a number of classics that i may have missed along the way, so any suggestion is acceptable.

as far as books are concerned i prefer things that i can find in the local library, but i am not opposed to sitting in borders to read a book because i am too cheap to buy it.
