oooh !! well, since he reads a Lot, ill give you a few.

his favourite playwright is, very un-uniquely, shakespeare. there's lots of drama ! and variety ! and yes, he prefers the tragedies over the comedies. he has Very mixed feelings on hamlet :]

favourite poet is either percy bysshe shelley, or robert browning. despite shelley being one of his favourite poets, he generally doesn't like romanticism [in contrast to charles who is generally has a rather romantic outlook [romance as in the Movement not as in just lovey dovey, to clarify]]

as for favourite author of novels? i had to think on this for like twenty minutes BUT. nathaniel hawthorne or charles maturin, the second of which was also a playwright but i digress. more gothic literature for the victorian teen boy
