I enjoy reading writers like Walt Whitman, E.E. Cummings, William Shakespeare, John Keats, and William Carlos Williams - and writers like Edgar Allan Poe, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Stephen King, Charles Dickens, D.H. Lawrence. I also listen to any kind of music that is inspirational. Presently I am really into the blues.
