Book: Um...geez, I'm kind of at a loss right now. Go read some Shakespeare.
Movie: Any of the Kevin Smith flicks (Clerks, Mallrats, etc.). I just watched Clerks and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back over the course of a couple of days and the continuity of the stories is fun.
Band: I've GOTTA pimp my cousin Will Hoge. He just released his new CD on Atlantic Records and it's excellent.
