Ayn Rand is Tom's favorite author minimalist. Her books are a testament to the power of individualism.
David Sedaris is Tom's favorite author for when he needs to cry alone in his room.
Douglas Adams is Tom's favorite author when he needs a good laugh.
Tom Robbins is the only author Tom's parents will let him read in his room.
That's all the authors Tom has time for. He's got better things to do.
