They have all had a great impact on who I am today, following throughout my younger years up until today -
and I still, frequently, return to these authors today - especially when I can't find anything that I'd like to read!
It's a lot about the language, for me personally - the way they express themselves,; their way of "building" beautiful sentences and using the very best of the language at hand! -
Heroes:
I don't have any heroes..except my mother..she was an angel!
