i don't read as much as i should. some books i have enjoyed are 1984, fahrenheit 451, johnny got his gun (yes, i admit it, i read it because of that metallica song), in cold blood, the road, and do androids dream of electric sheep? i hope to keep this list growing.
i think i was supposed to put my parents here or something? i mean that's what everyone else does and so i feel kinda bad about not doing it, but although i do love my parents, to call them my heroes would be a bit too strong. but people i would call heroes are james hetfield, john bonham, stanley kubrick, mike patton, david cronenberg, dennis hopper, michael palin, sam peckinpah, and probably a few more.
