Another Realm
There a a few writers who seem to be from another realm. They leave you with a strange feeling that you can not describe. A that feeling will follow you around for many days and weeks.  You will be unable to shake it off and nor will you be  able to quite identify what it is that has left such a deep mark on you.
Here are a few of my favourite authors that fit into that strange category:-
Murakami
Magnus Mills
Paul Auster
On a more spiritual note:-
Paulo Coehlo
For a look at some interesting films why not try:-
Kielowski Trilogy- Red White and Blue
The Piano
Easy Rider
Any of the Cohen brothers films
Cool music
Frank Sinatra
Nina Simone
Billie Holliday
Enya
David Bowie
Portishead
Pink Floyd
Not forgetting Kate Bush
