Favorite Authors

Da Guy's favorite authors -- almost exclusively read in those itty-bitty airline seats when there isn't enough leg and arm room to do real work while getting from place to place. If you look carefully, you'll see a pattern here in what Da Guy reads in his spare time -- similar to the types of movies he enjoys the most. Isn't there enough reality in the world already?
