Heroes
My favorite author is by and large Oscar Wilde, he was a man of great wit, and that is a quality I greatly admire. That being said, here's a cold, impersonal list of books I have read: Masters of Doom, the Hitchikers Trilogy, Goosebumps, the DaVinci Code, What Video Games Have To Teach Us About Learning and Literacy, Harry Potter series, Loser, Teenage Confidential: An Illustrated History of the American Teen, The Hypochondriacs Pocket Guide To Horrible Diseases You Probably Already Have, anything by Isaac Asimov, that loveable old genius, and my all time favorite book ever is Brewer's Rogues, Villains, And Eccentrics, by William Donaldson.
