I've always liked far out horror, sci-fi, and fantasy books. Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake & Merry Gentry series, The Talisman, Memoirs of a Geisha, No One Here Gets Out Alive, Dream Brother, Swan Song, Gateway, Lord of the Rings, Xombies, Harry Potter (shut up). Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. I love suggestions!
Marlena Deitrich. The Evil Lord Xenu! David Bowie as the Goblin King from Labyrinth (I've had a crush on him forever - that's got to mean something). Alice, because she made it out of Wonderland alive.
