Ok gents. Let's discuss our choice of reading material.

I like, in terms of authors, these:

Stephen King
David Gemmel
James Herbert
Thomas Harris

I like, in terms of books:

Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
Inheritance Quadrology - Christopher Paolini
The Hannibal Lecter Quadrology - Thomas Harris

This is just a short list of what sticks out in my head.

What do you read?

I don't really read a hell of a lot, so it's hard to answer.

Most of what I read wasn't by choice but rather assigned reading material for school. Most of it bored me.

For elective reading, all I can really think of are the Harry Potter books, which amused me but obviously aren't the best books ever written.

I read too much myself as well. I'll put a list up when I feel like it because I have too many books listed in my head and I'm going to explode if I put up a list now.
