Of course I'm versed in Becky-speak. :P

I'm sure I'll maneuver that scene into a place where it sits best, as soon as my brain comes back online. XD

This was an incredibly difficult question because I have a philosophy of not playing favourites and it's not because I necessarily *dislike* playing favourites, but because what I like is always changing. I've tried to think of the books/movies/TV shows I keep coming back to, though even those are few.

- Books -
+ Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (ironic, because I hated this book when I had to study it)
+ 'Hell' of Dante's Divine Comedy
+ Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie

... You know what I realise? Although I tend to only have the chance to read books on holidays, I haven't ready many GOOD books lately and it's completely flushed memory of most good things I may have once read. e.g. I tried to read Twilight and the Sookie Stackhouse books and they short-circuited my brain. And then the few *good* books I've found were good, but not... great, you know?

- Movies -
+ 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World' (video games + ass-kicking + rock music + relationship drama, what's not to love?) / occasionally trades places with 'Hot Fuzz'
+ Gladiator (don't judge me XP)
+ Wonderful Days (a Korean anime from the 2000s)

- TV Shows -
+ Top Gear (for consistent, lift-you-up lulz)
+ Battlestar Galactica (this is a recent favourite)
+ Sherlock or Jekyll (for dramatic BBC goodness)

Now I'm going to turn this question around on you: what are your top three books, movies and TV shows?
