pain, despair, misery, suffering, hatred, death, slow suicide, drugs, alcohol, famine, pestilence, war, disease, prescription painkillers...but mainly literature. books are my life.
fictional people
industrial and metal, primarily. other than that, i have very wide tastes.
anything with zombies.
...rots your brain. go read a book.
catcher in the rye (j.d. salinger), anything by o. henry, watership down (richard adams), house of leaves and only revolutions (mark z. danielewski), anything by ernest hemingway (especially short stories), anything by william faulkner, ambrose bierce, edgar allen poe, fyodor dostoevsky...i really like animal farm and 1984, too (george orwell). douglas adams is also great. there are far too many books that i love to list here.
...are no longer amongst the living, thus making them my heroes. for the most part, i only idolize dead authors.
