I've developed a habit of randomly reading people's profiles. I find it fascinating how communication styles, interests, hobbies, and even movie or book tastes vary depending on cultural backgrounds even within my own country. Lately, I've been really into cognitive science!

Favorite Movies
they are too many to be mentioned. let's just talk about them.
Favorite TV Shows
i prefer not to watch TV.
Favorite Books
'Labyrinths' by Borges and 'Existentialism and Human Emotions' by Sartre (those two books really changed my path)
I also love short stories by Faulkner, Poe, Kafka, Camus, and Hemingway, and I'm generally drawn to post-colonial literature. And yes, I'm a big fan of Russian literature as well.
I enjoy getting lost in Tolkien's world, too.
On the non-fiction side, I've read some on cognitive biases and human reasoning, such as You Are Not So Smart, Incognito, and The Enigma of Reason.
