Inspired by Luke Meulhlhauser’s quarterly updates on his favourite media (music, movies/TV and books), here are my favourite things! There is definitely a lot that I’ve forgotten.
Who cares? Nobody, really. This is more for me than for anyone else. It’s like when someone asks you what your favourite book is and you forget straight away, it’s nice to be able to have a list. But consider anything on here a recommendation from me.
