Spanish Music Books, Movies.
I am learning Spanish and I know the best way is to read, watch and listen.
So suggest me books to read, movies to watch, and music to listen to.
I like Manu Chao and Aventura very much.
I do not like Pedro Almodovar.
Thank you all in advanced.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
You could listen to The Orishas, they're pretty cool, or pretty much any reggaeton (Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, etc.).
For books, I would actually recommend reading children's books. They have less words and way less complicated grammar/vocabulary than adult literature, so it makes it a lot easier to understand. It may feel strange at first, but you sure don't have to look up as much stuff.
Movies and T.V. suggests: On T.V., you could watch telenovelas (Spanish soap operas). They're usually pretty funny (often unintentionally), and the acting is very exaggerated so it gives you clues as to what they're saying.
This may come as a surprise, but what really helps is to watch American movies that you are familiar with dubbed in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles. That way, you can focus on understanding the dialog rather than being preoccupied with trying to figure out what the hell is going on with the plot. If you have digital cable, scroll through the movie section; they tend to have 1 or 2 Spanish language channels. I saw both "Harry Potter" and "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory" in Spanish that way, and it really improved my comprehension. If you don't have fancy movie channels, most DVD's you can rent have optional Spanish subtitles, so you can mute them and just focus on reading the words. Again, this may feel strange, but it helps a ton.
I hope I helped! Adios!
