i'm also a huge fan of the spenser novels by robert b. parker. really great detective fiction that's lots of fun to read, but doesn't make you look NEARLY as cool as the ones above.

Heroes:

well, if you bring me a pizza with all veggies and no cheese, YOU'D be my hero. other than that, i don't worship anyone. that's silly.
