As for my reading interests, I am interested in classic fairytales like Cinderella and such. Another thing I am interested in are the "trippy" elements of Alice in Wonderland. I am thinking I want to do some sort of hybrid fairytale story that incorporate areas from both the classical and more weird sides. Lastly, I love Beowulf, but as I have already read it, I don't want to put it on my reading list. I am interested in finding similar hero stories, though.
