If so, what books and authors do you like? I like Michael Crichton, Frederick Forsyth, Jack Higgins, Christian Jacq, H.G. Wells, Alistair MacLean, JRR Tolkien and I used to love Roald Dahl when I was younger. Now, for books, the Jurassic Park ones and Jaws are probably my favourites. I also enjoy reading a lot of sports books. |

Sergey Dovlatov, Jaroslav Gashek, Jerome K. Jerome, Hunter Thompson, some Russian authors (Ilf & Petrov, Zoschenko, Chekhov etc.)... I also read a lot of biographies and historic books. |

I love to read, I don't have specific authors who are my favorite but I really like historical fiction. |
| KillerQueen840 16.07.2006 13:29 |
I love reading! Stephen King is my favorite author ever. But I try reading from new authors. I usually only read one book at a time, but I'm currently reading: Wolf's Trap Cannibal Killers The Encyclopedia of Serial Killers Then I'm going to start reading The Scarlet Letter for school. My favorite book ever is probably The Green Mile. |

I'm such a fuckin lazy reader, and I'm very ashamed to say it. It takes me quite a while to actually read a book, unless it keep dragging my attention all the way through. I think Stephen King is a brilliant story teller, but I haven't been able to sit and read one of his books from beginning to end because he drags along with too many details. |

In general, I prefer short stories to novels. Ray Bradbury, Michael Chabon, Steve Almond, Anna Gavalda, Aimee Bender, Hannah Tinti. And I especially love the flash fiction (1000 - 1500 words to a story)and micro-fiction (500 words or less to a story) genres. (That doesn't include the little stupid stories). :P |

I like to read. Some of my favs are Danielle Steel, VC Andrews, Kathllen E Woodiwiss...that all for the romance department so far. I like Jack Higgins...I thought "Angel Of Death was excellent. Hmmmm...there's a lot of books I've read, but I've only read that one book by that particular author; John Ferris, Agatha Christie, Stuart Woods, Minette Walters. There's so many I've read and liked :) |

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I am always reading a book, although it is harder to keep up during busy semesters. My favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird. Other favorite authors of mine are: Charles Dickens George Orwell C.S.Lewis Agatha Christie Louisa May Alcott J.R.R Tolkien Helen Fielding Roald Dahl etc, etc |

I love to read! I read The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (am i the only one!?!?) which I follow very closely. other than those, my favourite books are Narnia, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Outsiders. And in Shakespeare, my favourites are Hamlet and King Lear. I'm probably forgetting to mention some.... |

I like to read the paper... or, at least the parts that look interesting. Generally, the trashy bits, like Kieth Richards falling out of a coconut tree - not the "Today a Bunch of People Were Blown to Bits" parts. Hm... books. Books. I really, really, liked Science Fiction and would read a book a day. It was scary. Now, I'm pretty pooped. All the laser beams had an adverse effect on my attention span. Actually, it's school - they assign books so I don't get to choose. |

I used to love reading, but lately, I leave books in the middle, because none of them really appeal to me. I should write a book of what I want to see. Maybe there are other people out there like me. :P Besides, I'm more into drawing now. And BTW... I ADORE your artwork, Kelley!! |

Are you kidding? I read way more than is probably healthy for me....which is good since I'm now a graduate student of history and that's 99.9999% of what you do....read and write!! Don't really have any favorite authors, I just read what's interesting to me. I've liked some Michael Chrichton and Dan Brown and things like that, but I generally just buy a book and read it, as opposed to reading everything by one author. This is one author I've read all of the books for, Diana Gabaldon does a time traveling series that is good (as of now, 6 books which are all 600 pages plus!). I just got back from camping, and read most of the time! The Erotic Poems by Ovid....gotta love the classics :-) |

My dad's girl-friend was in the book-store once and she opened up a book with a "pretty cover". It was the "Kama Sutra". You can learn something new every day ! |

You can learn something new every day !Oh, that brought back some memories. :-* I pretty much did the same as your dad's girlfriend, except I was in an incense shop.. I mistaked Kama Sutra with a different term I'd read in my history book earlier, and I picked up the incense and I was like, "Look, mom, it's Kama Sutra!! I studied this!" Poor salesman. I bet he was wondering what school I attended. |
