    I find this thread so interesting that it deserves my first reply on Lanaboards lol

    I read this interview with Lizzy a while ago and she mentions a book in it too

    http://www.repeatfanzine.co.uk/interviews/Lana%20Del%20Rey.htm

    That was so sweet of you! I've been a fan of her since basically the beginning and her loving literature and reading all the classics, made me respect her even more. I bought Lolita after BTD dropped and a Walt Whitman poem book before Paradise. There is so much more though!

    Her favorite books are definitely "selfhelp-books" and this whole genre of motivational books and the road to a successful life. She named countless of those during her career already.

     

    I will update this ASAP I promise y'all! I'm just very busy with finals right now.

    Literature, no matter if novels or poems, plays a huge role in Lana's life and being a good writer was always her main goal. This is one of the aspects I always liked about her and thats why I am going to make a thread about everything related to her love for literature.

    Oh this is a thread for me since I am collecting her inspirations for a long time now. 

     

    Well first , lets talk about her music inspirations .

    She loves the 'masters of every genre' . She loves Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen , Eminem , Biggie Smalls , Britney Spears and Nirvana . She is also a huge fan of Anthony and the Johnsons , the Crystal Method , The Beach Boys , Nina Simone , Elvis Presley , Chris Isaak , Bruce Springsteen and Jeff Buckley . 

    She always listens to the same songs over and over again . The first single she ever bought was Coolios Gangsters Paradise . 

     

    Her lyrical inspirations would be Allen Ginsberg and the other Beat poets , Walt Whitman  , Albert Camus and Sartre. She mentioned the last two in an interview and posted quotes of them . Allen Ginsbergs Howl was her introduction to the world of poetry and she said it changed her live , she is transporting a copy of it in her pocket . Cute , isnt it ?

    She also loves self-help books like The Master Key System . Lolita the book and the movie is also a huge inspiration of hers. 

     

    She generally loves the 50s, 60s and 20s . Fashion icons are Marilyn Monroe and Lauren Bacall .

    Oh , her favourite movies are The Godfather 1 and 2 , American Beauty (the soundtrack influenced Born To Die a lot) , Sin City , Virgin Suicide and Scarface. 

     

    And also this is a fitting quote of hers .

     

     

     

    JJ: What is your biggest inspiration whether it be a thing, person, or place?

    LDR: That’s a good one. My own imagination, and my own vision for the way my future could look is inspiring to me. The landscape of California, the energy of New York. The potential I see in possible new innovative technological advances we’re making day by day.

     

     

    /close this thread .

    Any questions ?

    This was SO unexpected. I was so shocked when I heard it. But she will get better and I wish her the best. 

    But to be honest Little Monster are so annoying some of them act like shes in coma or shit like that. I mean , she is not in life hazard .

    Its sad that the tour is now over and I know that Gaga is probably the one who is the saddest right now. 

     

     

    I'm crying so hard right now

     

    Omg is your sig real ?
