I read everything I can get my hands on!

I really love stuff by John Irving, especially "A Prayer for Owen Meany." Nabokov's "Lolita" is one of my favorites as well, along with Milan Kundera's "The Unbearable Lightness of Being."

Re: Favorite Books?

I generally read non fiction books, but I do enjoy some fantasy or historical fiction now and then.

Favorite Fiction:


The Little Prince
I have love this one since I was little, still makes me cry every time.

The Sword of Truth Series
A teacher told me to pick this up when I was in Jr. high school (a good 10 years ago), and it was one of the best suggestions I've ever been given. Sam Raimi, the producer of X files, Xena, the Spider Man movies etc., is making this into a television series which is scheduled to come out some time in the Fall. I can't wait.

The Prince of Nothing series
Scott Bakkar has a fairly nice way of weaving some interesting philisophical principals into this fantasy tail. If you want something dark and a bit more sophisticated out of your fantasy novels, you might want to check this series out.

Anything at all by Tom Robbins, the man is genius.
Favorite Nonfiction:

The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat
Olivers Sacks is a brilliant Neurologist, and an amazing writer. In this and many of his other books he brings to life the stories of many of his more outlandish patients, describing not only a basic explanation of what was happening to them biologically, but engendering a goodly amount of empathy for the patients situation in his writing.

The Science of Good and Evil
An interesting theory on the evolutionary and biological underpinnings of human morality and behavior. Micheal Shermer's books are always a great source of amusing anecdotes, as well as thought provoking information.

I like books by Sidney Sheldon, Robert Ludlum and Dan Brown.

The Harry Potter and LOTR books weren't bad, too.

Re: Favorite Books?

I'm into the beat authors such as William S Burroughs (Junky, The Naked Lunch and The Nova Trilogy) and Jack Keroauc (On The Road, The Dharma Bums and Big Sur). I also love anything by Hunter S Thompson and Irvine Welsh, also into Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft.

Deffinately Jim Butcher. I LOVE the Dresden Files series.
The books are nothing like that junk they put on Sci-Fi. The books are wonderful. I mean wouldn't just love to have a pervy ghost that lives in a skull.

Slaughterhouse 5, Kurt Vonnegut; Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad; Milton's Paradise Lost; Go Ask Alice; The Things They Carried, Tim O'brien. You can always go to your local library and just see what jumps out at you.
