I'd like to meet:
I choose my friends by the beating of their hearts,
NOT the swelling of their heads.
However, if I had to meet just one random person,
I would want to hang out with this dude...
As for celebrities, I think spending some time with
these folks would make for some interesting conversations.
Well, maybe not Elisha Cuthbert, but she's just so ridiculously
hot. Don't hold it against me. I'm only a man.

Books:
My all-time favorite books are "The Dark Tower" books by Stephen King. I've only read through the entire series once, but friggin' A, Roland Deschain of Gilead and his Ka-Tet had one hell of an adventure. If you want to try something new (aka Sci-Fi, Horror, Western, and Existentialism all rolled into one crazy-ass story) check it out.
"The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay" is a book that I can't even begin to describe. It's adventurous, witty, romantic, hilarious, and deeply touching all at once. And it's about super heroes, magicians, and Jewish monsters. Just trust me.
This book is probably the funniest thing I've ever read. How many novels make you laugh out loud while you read them? The ridiculous and side-splitting adventures of Ignatius J. Reilly are like nothing I've ever read or anticipate reading again.
That Hemingway guy was pretty decent at cranking out some interesting yarns.
Anything by Jon Krakauer. Anything...
"Cell" is friggin' awesome. I mean, it's Stephen King writing a Sci-Fi/Horror Novel about a Zombie Apocalypse. Who wouldn't go for that? Oh yeah, all those people out there that like "The Notebook". Gays...
Hunter S. Thompson's tales of excess have inspired me to attempt to think up new ways to destroy every single neural connection in my brain. So far I still can't think of anything that guy hasn't already done.
I also love the "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" books (Yes, I know Harry Potter is for kids, so shutup. Those books still rock harder than your mom without her dentures.)
C.S. Lewis' space trilogy ("Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra", and "That Hideous Strength") is another series I could read over and over again. It's Sci-Fi that was written before Sci-Fi really existed as a genre, so there's no cliches or conventional Sci-Fi crap.
"Band of Brothers" by the late, great Stephen E. Ambrose is the true story of Easy Company of the 101st Paratrooper "Screaming Eagles." They're widely regarded as the best fighting unit in WWII. True stories are rarely as interesting as this one.
"The Virginian" by Owen Wister makes me wish I was born about 150 years earlier.
My favorite comics are Calvin and Hobbes, I own every single CnH comic strip ever published.
"Watchmen" is the coolest deconstruction of superhero comics you'll ever read. Yet at the same time, the badassery on display is one hell of a thing to behold.
I also own almost every Tintin comic known to man, which is either really cool or really lame, I'm still trying to decide...
Heroes:
GI Joe
Look at all your different colored hats!!!
Pork-Chop Sandwiches!!!
