Wakii Reeder likes to read the classics.  After the read, he like to turn them inside out and outside in, sack them up high and make them tumble on down.  After some tears, sweat, and blood (mostly from paper cuts), he tries to produce literature that will make his readers cherish it for the rest of their lives or want him to donate his organs or both.

Classic authors who have influenced Wakii include (but not limited to): L. Frank Baum, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Mark Twain.
