I am a big fan of Toni Morrison. I have a literature background. Alice Walker is one of my favorite poets. I enjoy historical pieces by David McCullough. I enjoy his books. Those are the first ones that come to mind. There has been some science fiction that I've read over the years that has been fun, like Stranger in a Strange Land. I read that when I was young. Those are the ones that come to mind in terms of authors that I go back to.
