i so seldom read anything that isn't required through school. but some books I have loved:
I'm actually holding out for a hero. I mean, where HAVE all the good men gone? Where are all the gods? the street-wise hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Strong, fast and fresh from a fight, perferably larger than life? No? Ok.
my heroes are people who can act selflessly to make things (all things, any thing) better.
