dostoevsky is my favorite writer having read everything he's written countless times. also a big fan of other russians. those romantic south americans. and some american writers. mostly those creating in the post wwII jazz influenced era. scott fitzgerald 'hop skip jump' short stories. david foster wallace is a favorite as well. gave birth to affinity for the OED. recent renewed interest in the unreliable narrator vain or storytelling popularized in the short story 'an occurrence at owl creek bridge'. thematically paralleled in the film 'jacob's ladder'. and on weekend's in the summer: dean koontz thrillers. mainly for each can be read in a day's time
