Howard, Poe, Melville, Vonnegut, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; the poetry of Homer, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Whitman, W.C. Williams and Robert Frost; of the critical theories found in One-Dimensional Man, Differance, Das Kapital, all that I have read of Freud, Bakhtin, Foucault, Derrida and Chomsky (except his linguistics). I cannot express how much I like to read things. Realistically, the best books I've read I haven't read yet.
