Books
My worst addiction. Too many to list here. I read mostly non-fiction reference and metaphysics books these days, but in the past I have read some great fiction: Dante Alighieri, Lewis Carroll, Homer, C.S. Lewis, Jack London, H.P. Lovecraft, John Milton, George Orwell, Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Rice, Tom Robbins, J. K. Rowling, Mary Shelley, William Shakespeare, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I also enjoy Laurence Gardner, Graham Hancock, Carl Jung, Robert Lomas, and James Redfield who are not fiction but some people might say they are speculative at best.
Heroes
That anonymous guy who stood in front of the tanks at Tianamen square back in '89, Giordano Bruno, Aleister Crowley, Leonardo DaVinci, Benjamin Franklin, Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (a.k.a. Paracelsus), Nikolai Tesla, and Swami Sri Yukteswar are some people I admire.
