Books:
First-person funny anecdotes.
Sarah Vowell is my favorite author because she has the added bonus of being a history nerd.
Other: James Loewen, David Sedaris, Kurt Vonnegut, the usual classics.
To Kill a Mockingbird was fantastic. I don't think The Westing Game is considered a classic, but it should be!
And, uh, way too many comedy books...
Highly recommended: King Dork by (Dr.) Frank Portman
Heroes:
Ralph Nader
Pierre Elliott Trudeau
Also: You.
Because you get it.
