Miguel Street by V.S. Naipaul - showed me how important roots are and how they nourish your adult and writing life.

Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk - kick-ass.

Things That Happen Once by Rodney Jones - support this Kingsley Tuffs awardee. Very good poems.

100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

It by Stephen King - I think this is his best work. Read it. It convinced me that the man's a genius.

Eragon. I read it in eighth grade and decided that if some kid could write that garbage, (no offense) I could write too.

Not one specific book influenced me, it was the authors that wrote them. Hemingway, Hughes and Steinbeck, as well as some of the best sci-fi writers like Campbell, Asimov and Heinlein have inspired me to write. Now, if I could just get published...
