Music (of course), literature, movies, video games, wargames & RPGs.
Soundtrack, Ambient, Metal, Industrial, Dubstep, pretty much whatever my ears like regardless of genre.
Too many to list. I love movies.
All the works of JRR Tolkien, most Dan Brown's Works, the works of Lovecraft and his contemporaries/successors.
Game of Thrones, Prison Break, Band of Brothers
