Nice. 💯

The Godfather is absolute genius! Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean stood no chance.

I actually have read the act of the start. When I just started senior class and decided to go into commercial class, I was looking for books that might spark my interest in business. Google recommended it. So I read it.

That's understanding but David Fincher's books were the main thing that sparked my interest in reading and writing.

Totally respect the Harry Potter series and JKR, even though it never struck a chord with me... but I recognize the genius in the books and the movies.

Of my top 3 your favourite is the Godfather??

That's impressive, but are you sure you're GenZ? Lol. I don't think any GenZ will pick that over LOTR and Pirates of the Caribbean.

You've read The Art of the Start? Lol. You're whyning me.

+ Fincher? Lol. I'm surprised you know David Fincher..not for any other reason, but most GenZs don't..

For my music inspiration I'll say anything by Radiohead, The Neighborhood. I love songs that are deep, songs that you listen to more than once because you love the feels it gives you. That's the kind of songs I love!

And for my favorite movie I love J.K Rowling's Harry Potter and Rick Gordon's Percy Jackson.

LoL. I've watched all your top three favorites. My favorite out of your list will probably be The Godfather. Love it.

I can see why it's there. I've literally rewatched it a dozen times.

Is it weird that they all overlap? Lol. I know all of them. My favorite on your list is Gone Girl by David Fincher but let's be for real anything by David Fincher deserves number one. He's amazing!

Getting inspired by music is like getting an itch that never goes away till write. I love that!

Hmm. Same, actually my interest in book is different than my interest in movies. I might like dark fiction, thrillers, action when I'm reading and sometimes as movies but I'm more of a fantasy, romance, comedy. LOL.

I actually do read stories related to business and start up. My favorite is Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The art of the start actually.

I went way over 3, but....any overlap? Lol.

Favourite psychological Thrillers? In no particular order

1. Gone Girl (David Fincher at his best)

2. The Silence of the Lambs (Absolute classic).

3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Quite long, but that's why I really like it, a lot of good stuff. Fincher at this best again)

4. Fracture

5. Seven (Fincher, again)

6. Insomnia (One of Nolan's earlier movies)

7. A Perfect Murder (Saw this ages ago in secondary school and it stuck).

8. Requiem for a Dream (don't do drugs. Lol)

So...

1. The Godfather

2. The Lord of the Rings

3. Pirates of the Caribbean (1 - 3).

It was super hard to narrow that down to 3...but for so many reasons those would be top 3....

..related to startups, business, self-development, capacity-building etc. Favourites would probably be The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki, Lean Startup by Eric Reis, Zero to One by Peter Thiel etc

For movies, favourite genre? Psychological Thrillers...give me David Fincher any day! I've probably seen 90% of all his movies.

Top 3 movies? That's probably the most difficult thing you could ask me to do. Lol.

It's easier for me to pick my favourite directors than movies.But ↗ for the sake of it..

YES to music. Lol. I know a bit about getting inspired by musical lyrics... to the point where they make you want to write.

And I almost always connect every meaningful experience to whatever song(s) I'm listening to at the time.

Nice list of books. I can't say I'm familiar with any of them, but now I'm curious to go check what they're about

My reading habits and interests are utterly different from the movies I like

When it comes to reading, I'm almost always reading something...

And YES to psychological thrillers! Especially as movies. I am a big movie person. Nothing is better than your favorite novel as a movie.

Anything with unreliable narrators, slow-burn suspense, or that final twist that punches you in the gut—I’m there, popcorn in hand.

What are your top 3? I feel like we’d have a solid overlap.

Well. Honestly. It's not just books that inspire my writing. Music too. I feel like words are words. Wether it be a novel or music.

But yeah. The novels that really inspired my writing is Verity by Collen Hover and Before I go to sleep by S.J Waston and I'm thinking of ending things by Iain Reid. The best kind of books are the ones that make you doubt reality. I've read lots like this but these are my favorite.

"There's something so addictive about content that messes with your head in the best way..."....🩵🩵.

After reading Tag you're IT. The shape of IT, I suspected that IT might just be Danielle. Lol.

I'm curious to know what books, if any, may have influenced your writing?

+ it's funny that you mention Psychological Thrillers in your previous comment, that happens to be my favorite movie genre...are you a big movie person?

Yesss you get it!! There's something so addictive about content that messes with your head in the best way.

Yes, IT is Danielle. I am really the blueprint and everything else is just living in my psychological thriller to be honest.

And that's really all we want at the end of the day when we engage with content...to think and feel.

"...Makes you doubt your mind and your sanity"...

...IT is Danielle and Danielle is IT? Lol

Thank you!

I think that's why I like the dark fiction genre so much. It keeps the mind spinning, keeps the brain thinking and wondering. Makes you doubt your mind and your sanity.

Lol. I love writing things that make people think and feel.
