Books:
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. The only book ever to scare me. This was the book that taught me to think. I think the real secret to Ray Bradbury's success is his constant ability to make you laugh, cry and discover that life indeed is full of joy. I still love this story.The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan...I remember reading it as a comic initially and was captivated. The quest to find a place like the heavenly city and the struggles you travail the whole way is something I can relate to.The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I think this is the most romantic story about I've ever read, and I was left in tears at the ending. A great story. If I write one half as good, I'll be lucky.Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. This book points out the power of the individual and reminds me how fragile things really are. Oddly I feel this becomes more relevant as time goes on.Perhaps most importantly, the Bible. Never in literature or history do you come across people so human, likeable, dislikeable, more like me or you than in this book. It's the only book I read that writes itself on you if you let it. My favorite part is the gospels. Jesus as a human being is so fascinating to me. More than dying, more than his miracles, I'm amazed at how he lived.
Heroes:
Jesus, Dad, my Grandmother, Martin Luther King Jr, Leonardo Da Vinci, Abraham Lincoln, Any doctor that tries to heal, Green Lantern.
