Hell yes, I love to read! Shakespeare's probably my favourite writer to read, and I'll read just about anything: classic stuff like The Grapes of Wrath, fantasy like The Lord of the Rings, biographies, anything.

yo if u like fantasy u should read Orson scott Card. he writes sci-fi mostly, but he has some good fantasy. The Alvin Maker series . 5 books total. ALL great. trust me. also, enchantment by Card. Anaiis Nin (it might be misspelled). am presently reading harry potter (please no one ruin it for me! just to b safe i wont check this post till i finish in abt 2 days). i dont kno the authors but i read The red tent, very good, also Harem, very good story. just off the top of my head. i subscribe to rolling stone, high times mag, national geographic, scientific american, and i hate to admit, cosmopolitan.

Same here. I'll read anything I can get my hands on really. I especially like non-fiction and biographies though. I'm a history nut so that ties into it I guess.

Well first of all, we're all dopefiends which means we can't read, we just sit on the couch and stare blankly into space for hours.

That beings said...


I'm reading the Wheel Of Time series right now and LOVING it! I just finished the first novel feeling so damn sitisfied, and am now in the middle of The Great Hunt.

Also Shogun was a fascinating and intricate novel that really made me understand Japanese culture. However, a well-written classic though it may be, this 1,200 page book could have been about 700 pages had Clavel removed some of the areas of major tedium. Not to mention the end was a total cop-out. He spent a thousand pages building up this intricately-planned war with all sorts of factors you so look forward to seeing how they work out. Then when the war finally does come, at the end, it's basically 3 pages at the end said "....and it all worked out some how, Toranaga kicked ass and won". I think he was just like "oh man, I'm 1,200 pages in, screw it I'm just gonna wrap it up". I mean ARGH, I read so friggin much to get NOTHING!

thats sucks when books dont have an ending they deserve. the worst book Ive read was memoirs of a geisha. then i saw the movie and it blew even more. u know which book is fun to read when high? ella enchanted. its a kid book but very well written and its fun

[psybotbob]

I enjoy all kinds of books. History books like The Story of Mankind by Hendrik Willem van Loon. Fantasy novels like The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind are a pretty good read.
Then there are my all time favorite novels by Jean M. Auel, Earth's Children series. The Clan of the Cave Bear is a must read. Has anyone else read it?

[Hilder420]

nope never heard of it but I'll have to look into it. i just bought my favorite childrens book from when i was a kid and just realized its kinda gross. finished reading harry potter last week and now im reading the chicken soup for dog lovers and i cant stop crying.

I like anything by Stephen King, as well as technical books and magazines. Of course, High Times and Skunk. I read alot about musical instruments because I build them. I have a theory that Stephen King is really Edgar Allen Poe, reincarnated.

Yea i like to read, and i love anything by stephen king

[ILikeSurfing]

I love to read, and its funny because I've really started reading more since I've been smoking more. Now tell me that I'm not defeating the "stoner cliche", I mean i just read this awesome book filled with a bunch of short stoires of this guy who was drafted to vietnam. I'd toke a bowl or two, then read it and it was the most intresting thing ever.

Just read the Hot Zone for a college course, turned out to a be a great book..Ebola is one nasty virus, you end up crashing and bleeding out from every orfice. Yeah i want to read Stephen King's the Cell next.

[Divadish]

Clive Barker's 1st and 2nd books of the Art, The Great and Secret Show, and Everville both weird and wonderful books...and quite old now i think about it

Alastair Reynolds is also an awesome sci fi writer. One of the best. I especially love Terry Goodkind though. Books rule!:thumbsup:

Ok, I paused Star Trek, went fullscreen on this thread, re-read it, then made this post about how you mentioned Alastair Reynolds.

Word.

[TX Girl]

I read a lot, I love non-fic esp biographies, memoirs and really funny stuff.
I don't care much for sci fi w a few exceptions.

[ClockworkOrange9]

I too love literature. Ranging from the bizarre, eccentric fiction to the concrete non-fiction, I love all and any literature that can stimulate that enigmatic little organ that hides within the confines of my skull. :smokin:
