I love to read. At any given time I can be found reading at least 2 books. I firmly believe that has inspired me to write. The books that have inspired me the most are very varied. They also span 4 languages.
The books that mean the most to me are the ones that have helped to form who I am.

Walt Whitman his O Captain my Captain remains my all time favorite poem
William Shakespear his plays continue to inspire me
