I did a bit of a search but it didn't seem there were any threads of this. But it is late and I could be delirious. Anyway:

What are your favorite authors/poets?

Who has been an influence on your own work?

Whose work do you want to read more of?

What are you currently reading?

I have always loved Poe, Gogol and of course, Tolkien. I don't write any myself, though.
I have read a bit of Saul Williams' poetry, which was amazing. I want more!
Currently I am actually reading the old testament. I am not a religious nut or anything, but I decided that because of the amount of impact the old testament has had on history in the past few thousand years, and because I doubt very few people have actually read it or know what's in it (they just let others tell them what to think it is about) that I should read it.
My copy comes with a lot of commentary. It is actually pretty fun so far.
