Recommended Music and Books

I have divided this up into two sections:
1. Music to write too
2. Books I recommend.

Music

When writing, I have found certain types of music best suited for what I am writing. Here I have listed my favorite bands to listen to depending on what you're writing.

Thriller/Action/Suspense

1. Rammstein. A German band, their name partially taken from the Ramstein airshow disaster. They're probably my favorite band to listen to when writing in this Genre. Rammstein is the only band I could find with up-beat yet good music that didn't sound too much like "heavy metal". Take Rock and orchestra music, and you have Rammstein. Here are my favorite tracks:
1. Haifisch
2. Mein Herz Brennt
3. Sonne
4. Keine Lust
5. Rosenrot
6. Du Hast

2. Skillet.
1. Hero
2. Comatose
3. Monster


3. Johnny Cash
1. God's Gonna Cut You Down
2. Sixteen Tons

Drama/Romance

This varies more on your own personality, but I still have a few of my favorites listed:
Sweet -Love is Like Oxygen
Johhny Cash -Ring of Fire
Skillet -Savior

...and that's it for now! If I find more I'll post them.

Books

I admit I read more than I write, so I'll populate this list as best as I can. I couldn't possibly ever put them in chronological order depending on what I like, so they're listed in random. Although I put a little "*" by my favorites.
1. Catcher in the Rye
2. In The Company of Others*
3. Snow Falling on Cedars
4. The Silverwing Trilogy by Kenneth Oppel*
5. Airborn, SkyBreaker, Starclimber, etc, by Kenneth Oppel*
6. War of Eagles by Tom CLancy
7. The Giver
8. Killer Station*
--list will always be incomplete.
