1. Tom Tierney

2.  English Major
 Avid sports fan, and mixed martial arts fan.
 Avid writer. I’ve been expressing myself in written
form since I was a child. Throughout my life I realized
that writing was a subject I always excelled in, so I
decided to become an English major.
 Long Island resident, and proud!
 Fun fact: I’ve completed 125 credits.

3.  I love Stephen King and the vast majority of his work.
The last book I completed was “11/23/63” by King. It
was quite long, but it was fantastic.
 My favorite work of his has to be “Rita Hayworth and
Shawshank Redemption”. Subsequently, the movie
that they adapted from the novella is my favorite
movie of all time.

4.  I have recently found myself reading more and more
Kurt Vonnegut novels.
 I am currently reading “Breakfast of Champions”. It is
quite strange, but brilliant.

5.  Arguably my favorite writer of all-time is Hunter S.
Thompson. I find that he was a brilliant man and I
strive to have even half the mind that he had.
 “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” is my favorite book
from Thompson.
