These are always such hard questions for me. I'm all over the place and depending on day and or mood it changes drastically.
So today my answers are
Book - love me some John Irving with a special place for Son of the Circus. And Tom Robbins with a soft spot for Another Roadside Attraction
Music - I'm a thru and thru alt indie girl that loves me some David Bowie and Kinks.
Movie - my movie tastes are All. Over. The. Place. But two that I watch over and over is Disney's Robin Hood, and A Knight's Tale.

Book Anne of Green Gables Movie Pride and Prejudice Music-Phil Collins
So hard to pick a favorite, so I just went with what book and movie I have reread and rewatched multiple times. I have watched/read them both about a dozen times. Most movies I can't even sit through once.
