Everything by H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe, but mostly Lovecraft

If Chins Could Kill by Campbell
Nine Stories by Salinger
Greek, Nordic, and Hindu mythologies
really anything by Charles Dickens, Jack London, William Gibson, Kurt Vonnegut, and Dr. Hunter Thompson
All good stuff, but the book i am writing is a work on philosophy with a bit of social commentary sprinkled in. That said, these responses are all most appreciated. i started a blog to get some interest in my work as per Doc, now i just need to posting some relevant stuff. Thanks again. Ashe.
