Anything by Terry Pratchet, Roddy Doyle, Umberto Eco, Philip Pulman, Jose Carlos Somoza, Arturo Perez-Reverte, Jean Rhys, Aleksander Solzhenitsyn...another endless list.

Heroes:

Oscar Levant, Seamus Heaney, Nick Cave, Mae West, Fidel Castro, My Dad, Harpo Marx, Jack Vettriano, a number of valiant taxi drivers and bar staff.
