Books:
Anything by Hemmingway, especially "The Old Man and the Sea" and "Farewell to Arms". Also, Willa Cather's "My Antonia", Chaim Potok's "My Name is Asher Lev", F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby". I like Faulkner, Shakespeare, Tolstoy, C.S. Lewis...basically anything that is edifying. I love poetry, espically that of the greatest Romantic American poet Walt Whitman, and the profound 17th century metaphysical poet, John Donne. I also like William Blake, Gerard Manly Hopkins, Shakespeare, and many others.
