Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and all other books by Douglas Adams, all books and articles by Dave Barry, The Hypochondriac's Guide to Life. And Death, The Merck Manual, Principles of Internal Medicine, David Sedaris, The Darwin Awards, By the Side of the Road, Fractured English, The Onion, The World According to the Man in the Pub 2, Bill Bryson, Fahrenheit 451. I don't really like fictional books because it seems that almost every combination of plots, characters, and settings has been exhausted. I also don't care too much for classics, although Hemingway is pretty good.
Heroes
Einstein, Hawking, all the Curies, Jane Goodall, Gandhi, Douglas Adams, my family and friends, this Reese guy, Stuart Larkin, Dave Barry, Mr. Johnson, etc.

I am very closed about personal feelings, I am socially awkward, I have little patience, and I tend to make others uncomfortable. :^)
