I'd like to meet:
Anyone interesting... people who dream and are always finding ways to improve either themselves other people. People who believe that life has so much potential and aren't always trying to put down optimists such as myself.

Books:
I’m addicted to the written word. The idea of people’s feelings and imaginations forever immortalized in books is an emotional aphrodisiac for the soul. I find myself falling in love with fictional characters more then I do for flesh and blood people. I think that fellow writers and artists understand where I’m going here.
For me, there isn’t one book that I can list as my favorite and I cannot list them all since the list changes on a daily basis. The authors that I can honestly say has never been off my top ten lists are
Shakespeare
Jane Austin
Dante.
I love the classics more then I do the modern contemporary novels.
My must read books are as follows:
Shakespeare: The Twelfth Night, Taming of the Shrew, Alls Well that Ends Well, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, The Tempest, A Midsummer Nights Dream, and As You Like It. (Yes, I enjoy Shakespeare’s comedies more then I do his tragedies)
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
Make him a member of the gentry, even if he is a commoner.
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
