Action movies are the type of movie I like, But when it comes to books its mostly fiction type books.  Give me a clasic good againts evil battle with a great plot and I'm happy. 

I think J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series was my most recent influence on my writting with the lord of the rings a close second.  If I had to describe my book StrongStand I would say its a mix of the two meaning you follow a young warrior through life along with the battle against an evil leagon of evil men.
