Humphreys, Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Alexandre Dumas, the Romantic era poets, especially Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the classical philosophers from Antiquity and on, anyone who challenged the status quo. The list goes on....fantasy/sci-fi, non-fiction: I tend to read about things I'm interested in. I'm bilingual, so I read a lot in French too. I enjoy reading the classics in their original languages.

Heroes:

Strong women, people who dare to be different.
