Books: Pretty much anything about food—Michael Pollan, food history, local/personal food stories like Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver or Farm City by Novella Carpenter. Non-fiction has been huge for me in the last several years—everything from The World Without Us to American Buffalo. For fiction, nothing's better than Tom Robbins (Skinny Legs and All and Jitterbug Perfume are my favorites) and Dave Eggers. I was on a Chuck Palahniuk kick for a while—Choke and Survivor were great. The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters.
