Books:
Jane Austen, Pat Conroy, Sarah Vowell, J.R.R. Tolkien, Lois McMaster Bujold, Jasper Fforde, Stephen Donaldson, Orson Scott Card (the good Ender and Bean books and the first few in the Alvin Maker series, not his crazy Mormon stuff), Jane Yolen, YA novels like Feed and Hairstyles of the Damned, Piers Anthony's Incarnations series (and the first few Xanth books), Mercedes Lackey's early Valdemar stuff, and graphic novels. Bee Season and The Jane Austen Book Club were good, but I don't remember who wrote them. I read academic nonfiction books for my job; I like a portion of them, but the rest are somewhat utilitarian and dull.
Heroes:
There's no good way to answer this; it's too easy to leave people out. But among my heroes are my mother, human rights workers, and musicians.
