Hey, time for another set of favourite things! I am a massive fan of these posts - I end up finding so many new things through them! Today we have...

Book
Mostly anything by Nick Hornby, but trying to wean myself off him and
venture elsewhere in the literary world... I just finished Douglas
Coupland's The Gum Thief this morning which was incredible, with the
relationship between Roger and Bethany striking me very similar to
Seymour and Enid in the film adaptation of Daniel Clowes' Ghost World,
which is a brilliant segway to..
My top 5 books currently... 1. High
Fidelity - Nick Hornby, 2. Ghost World - Daniel Clowes, 3. The Rotter's
Club - Jonathon Coe, 4.The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath, 5. Fight Club -
Chuck Palahniuk
Film
In a nutshell...Kevin Smith/Studio Ghibli/Coen Brothers/Jason Reitman
Breakfast
Anything involving bananas and/or marmite! Banana and marmite toasted
sandwiches, banana pancakes with marmite, if I'm feeling a little less
racy perhaps just toast with bananas, or toast with marmite.
Song/artist
I love Tom Waits to bits, and my Dad bought me Closing Time for my
birthday which absolutely broke my heart, especially Martha and I Hope
That I Don't Fall In Love With You. Lovely lovely lovely. When I'm not
being so soppy, I can't get enough of Le Tigre, or JD Samson's brilliant
new project MEN. Lots of great electric lady dance music
Drink
Morgan's Spiced with Diet Coke, or Desperados with a big hunk of lime if
I'm at the pub, but I mostly just drink litres and litres of water
during the day.
Internet time-waster
Piece of clothing
My ultimate LBD - an incredibly comfy jumper dress I bought in the
H&M sale on a whim about 5 years ago, and is my go-to piece. Whack
on some tights, boots, and I'm set
Board game
Articulate! ARTICULATE! I am hooked. My first New Year's of legal drinking age, I
spent at home with some friends, beers, and Articulate and it was the
best. Lots of frantic hand flapping and shouting...
Sleeping position
starfish, belly down...it's a wonder why I'm single!
