Salinger! I just finished 'Raise High.' I love the Glass family so very much. Franny and Zooey will always be my favorite because I read about them first, but Seymour comes in very close behind them.
Yes, I read Franny and Zooey first as well! I love Seymour as a character though, good god. He's just fascinating. I think the Glass series should get more credit, rather than just Catcher.

Also - Yann Tiersen... I love his music so much, but I haven't really seen Amelie or any of the other films featuring it, shame on me.
<333!
