I really like Barbarella by Jean Claude Forest but I have only read the english translation not sure if im missing out on him. And my all time favorite inspiration is Jack Kirby and I legitimately love his writing style and the passion behind all his characters, I love how sincere and enthused they all are. That kind of passion and verbose style is missing from all modern stuff. And another anon reccomended pulp scifi books I also like those, if you read most any of them they are all well written and highly imaginative, usually you can find them cheap too. Lastly I really like Philip K Dick's books, I love LOVE his characters and how they talk. They strike me as very honest and realistic in how they deal with absurd high concept situations and he always takes a relatable low class person like a junkie and elevates them into a high stakes situation. Worth checking out any of his books.
