I read voraciously -- anything and everything that comes my way. I recently finished The Shadow of the Wind -- a FANTASTIC book recommended by my very knowledgeable friend "Timmy". Other favorites: The History of Love, The Glass Castle, anything by Haruki Murakami, Freakonomics, The Cloud Atlas, Rules for Old Men Waiting, Winter's Tale, the essays of Emily Hahn ...
Besides the fact that my heroes have always been cowboys, I would have to say Emily Hahn and Margaret Murie -- two women who defied societal norms to do what they wanted with their lives.
