... fantasy stuff like terry pratchett and neil gaiman. I try to branch out sometimes but I'm really bad at picking books for myself because either a) I overthink and try to be too relevant (jules verne is certainly a classic, but damn 20,000 leagues was boring 
) or b) I try something everybody likes to see what the fuss is about (I couldn't get past that first chapter, i just couldn't
)I agree that certain pieces of art have messages that can stand independent of their author... meaning that they are not simply a representation of their author (whatever that may entail). They take on a life of their own... I think MJ's songs, the world owns them just as much as MJ does.
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
