I'v ebeen reading "Barney's version" by Mordecai Richler. Absolutely hillarious.
I'm personally a huge Mario Puzo fan, read every single book written by him. Try reading "The Sicillian" if you're into Godfather type genre. I absolutely loved The Sicillian.
Love, love, love, Puzo!0 -

I always said that I'd not go down the reader route. Have eaten my words. Love it. I still read proper books (in the bath!) but love being able to instantly download a book.
I can never give this up:
I could probably learn to use an e-reader, particularly for travel and to prevent the inevitable overtaking of my room with actual books (they're already 2 deep and 2 high in all of my shelves, along with a box full on the floor and several stacks...it's a problem), but I would never, ever give up my real books unless I absolutely had to, and I'd still hang on to all my first editions, signed copies, and random textbooks that I collect from the 1920s-1940s.0 -
I calculate I've already read over 11,000 pages so far in 2012. I read a lot of philosophy, theology and fiction. I've recently purchased the Great Books of the Western World collection.0

I'm reading Roméo Dallaire's 'They Fight like Soldiers, They Die like Children' as well as Gretchen Rubin's 'The Happiness Project'.
Sorry, I'm not a romance novel person, infact I despise it haha
I do fiction, young adult fiction, bibliographies, biographies, how-tos etc but after working in a book store for a little while you realize how annoying publishing get. Especially when we were dealing with the monthly releases of Harlequin :explode: :mad:0 -
I mostly like mysteries. But I will read just about anything on my KINDLEs!!!
Favorite authors:
Robert Crais -- start with The Monkey's Raincoat
Harlan Coban -- any of the standalones or the first of the Myron Bolitar series
David Rosenfelt - the Andy Carpenter series, especially if you are a dog lover, Golden Retrievers
Lee Charles Kelley -- Jack Field mysteries, again for dog lovers
Karen White
Get a Kindle. :-)0 -
I read constantly. Even when relaxing from reading textbooks from classes, I pick up a book. I read science fantasy. Favorite authors are Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time series), Terry Goodkind (Sword of Truth series), and Raymond E. Fiest (Riftwar Saga). There are others, but those are my favorites.
I know I'm a guy, but I also have read Stephine Meyers Twilight series repeatedly.0 -
Hey, fellow bibliophiles... look for Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. It is great and funny. Reminded me a bit of the humor in Catch 22. Hilarious.0

Kudos to you! i liked the Twilight series personally. and I've heard good things about the Wheel of Time series0 -
I am on the 11 (and final?!) book of the Sookie Stackhouse series! I've still only seen 1 episode of True Blood but I'm getting more and more curious about the show as I go through the books! And I will admit, I didn't REALLY get into the series until the 4th book. Things really started picking up! Thanks to all who suggested it!0

Sword of Truth is my favorite series that I've read (so far). It's such a fantastic story and the writing is perfect for my taste. I miss Richard and Kahlan so much sometimes, but I don't have the time right now to reread the books. It made me so sad when they ruined the story in the show Legend of the Seeker (which, IMHO, was absolute garbage). I've picked up R A Salvatore's Drizzt series a bit recently, but I became distracted by The Art of Happiness and Camus' The Fall. Then again, I also like my weeknight trash, such as 50SoG and Chelsea Handler's hilarious autobiographies. :ohwell:

I have read some paranormal romances. My favorite are time travel romances. I have read all of Susan Plunkett, Constance O'Day-Flannery, Judith O'brien, Jenny Lykins. There are other Time Travel Romance writers out there too. My favorite romance writers are Barbara Delinsky, Jude Deveraux and Fern Michaels. I just started a Daniel Steel novel. I only like some of hers. I need to finish it because I have 14 other romance novels waiting to be read.0
