Anything by Ernest Hemingway, Amin Maalouf, Alessandro Baricco, John Steinbeck, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allen Poe, Honore De Balzac, Cesare Pavese, William S Burroughs. Open to suggestions???
My Mother, MLK, Artemisia Gentileschi, Rosa Parks, Arundhati Roy, and anyone that is willing to make a difference in this world. To stand up for what they believe in, and to fight to make things better for all, unselfishly. Anyone that gives a damn about people, nature, animals, insects, mammals, and so on...are alright in my book!
