    Default What do you like to read?

    What do you like to read (if you do at all) What are some of your favorite books? It seems I like to read books that are based on or have a movie based on them. I'm not sure why porobably because I have somthing to relate it to. So what are some of your favorite books and why?

    I really like self-help and personal achievement books...
    How to Win Friends and Influence People
    7 Habits of Highly Effective People
    Think and Grow Rich
    etc, etc...

    Also, I've read everything ever written by Ayn Rand. I read both Atlas Shrugged, and The Fountainhead at least twice a year.

    I like good fantasy books, like the LOTR trilogy, the Sword of Truth series (at least the first two, which are the ones I've read thus far), The Wizard of Earthsea and the series, The Vampire Chronicles (read the first three). I used to be a hugy Clancy fan; I read all his books through The Dragon and the Bear (I think that was what it was called), but I haven't read anything by him in some time. I also really like to read philosophy and political philosophy.

    At work I'm reading Moby Dick and at home I've just begun to struggle through Freedom of the Will by Jonathan Edwards.

    I love the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. I seem to keep re-reading them..!

    I also like crime thriller type books (Patricia Cornwell etc...) and horror stuff like Stephen King and Richard Laymon.

    I love reading history books, esp. military/naval history. Two of the best books I've read recently in that genre are Ship of Ghosts and The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors.

    I read a lot of science fiction.

    Dune and Lord of Light are my two favorites.

    I could reread either of those anytime.
