    Off the top of my head for this, but I'm a fan of the following living people, nicknames used: J.K. Rowling, Kate Leth, Zinnia Jones, Natalie Reed, and Neil deGrasse Tyson. I'm also a fan of the following deceased people: Mary Shelley, Oscar Wilde, Carl Sagan, and Rosa Luxemburg.

    Awesome~ It's kind of unappreciated; sure, everyone is familiar with the barebones of say, Frankenstein, but that's mostly the film adaptations, while the original novel is left to collect dust. Which is a shame, because there's neat characters that never see celluloid e.g. Safie.

    I've read Frankenstein and it's really good. To me it says don't judge a book by it's cover because there's something to be discovered in those tattered pages.

    I like Rosa Luxemburg too (I wish that she would have lived longer though :frowning2:). I'm impressed! She spoke: English, French, German, Polish, and Russian.


    I'm a fan of: Ricky Martin, my dad, Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Audrey Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin, and a few others :slight_smile:.

    Not sure if directed at me, but I'll answer anyway: books, globes, and maps. =)

    It's truly a shame... cut down in her prime by proto-fascists... :c

    I wasn't aware she was such a polyglot, actually! Neat! =)

    Wow! This is an interesting list. It's shame that Lisa, Whitney, Aaliyah, and Judy all died so young :icon_sad:.

    I really look up to Stephen King as the current King of Horror and the reason why I love horror and books in general so much. Also Markiplier, who uses his fame on YouTube to raise money for all kinds of charities and his really great at cheering me, and everyone else who watches his videos, up.
