Subject: What do you like to read? Thu Apr 23, 2009 2:22 pm

I'm all about fantasy novels. Sci-fi is okay. Joe Abercrombie, Stephen Donaldson and George R R Martin are my favorites... currently reading the Dresden Files or whatever, theyre okay.

I'm more a fan of comic books and graphic novels (not manga really), but as far as actual books go, books about military history and serial killers tend to be at the top of my list.

I read a litlle of everything. I am into Star Wars and all types of Mystery, Thriller, Horror, Sci-Fi novels. I also read a lot of Non-Fiction as well. I have also been reading many of the classics lately.

I like history, war novels, non-fiction and fiction alike, and sci-fi. I also enjoy an occasional bio, s'long as it's about someone decent. Need more Lovecraft...

Guest

All sorts. I adore beat-literature. You know, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and so on. Mostly I read stuff that are quite difficult to categorize, classics also yeah but that isn't quite accurate. Well, I love Charles Bukowski, Kurt Vonnegut, Henry Miller, Lovecraft, Chuck Palahniuk, Nikolai Gogol, Ernest Hemingway. And from my country I prefer Pentti Saarikoski the most.

Actually, right now I am just beginning an H.G. Wells book containing 7 of his complete and unabridged novels.

The Time Machine
The Island Of Dr. Moreau
The Invisible Man
The War Of The Worlds
The First Men In The Moon
The Food Of The Gods
In The Days Of The Comet

Not sure if I'll read all 7 consecutively but I will probably read at least 2.

I like to read war novels and any sci-fi book.

The last book I read was "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway, and it's damn good.

Subject: Re: What do you like to read? Thu Apr 23, 2009 8:55 pm

I read various things depending on different interests. Horror, mystery, autobiography, sci-fi, fantasy, poetry, biographical, scientific, graphic novels, mythology, historical etc... My favorite book is Frank Zappa's autobiography. I also love the Poetic Edda, H.P. Lovecraft stuff, Donquixote and others. Currently reading several books now. Surely, You're Joking Mr. Feynman, A Brief History Of Time and Golf Monster. I've got tons of others Im planning on reading, too, but Im working on those for now.
