Tuomas Holopainen is a songwriter, composer and co-founder of the Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. I think Tuomas is one of the best songwriters of our times. His songwriting is heavily inspired by literature and poetry, and these are a few of the books that inspired his songs and albums. The name of the list is a reference to a lyrics from a song he wrote The Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish, one of my all-time favorites.
