What books?

What books do you guys love? Hate? Current obsessions? Longtime favorites? I read a lot and I'm always looking for new authors to read! I have a pretty broad interest... Please share!! Unless I'm the only dork that still reads real books... Haha!

My current obsession is the Sookie Stackhouse Novels by Charlaine Harris. Anybody who is a fan of True Blood on HBO should read these!

Also, my alltime favorite author is Jane Austen... I couldn't tell you how many times I've read Pride and Prejudice!

I've always got a book on me. I tend to lean towards the "who done-its" type of genre. Harlan Coben is a favorite. I like Jonathon Kellerman and his wife Faye Kellerman. I recently discovered an author named Tananarive Due - her books aren't really in the same genre, but still has you turning the pages to figure out what happens next. The Living Blood is a good book to start with.

I also like werewolf/romance type books. I adore Donna Boyd's books, The Promise was one of my favorites. Also, Virginia Lanier has a series of Bloodhound books that are pretty awesome. I believe I read that she has died, so once you read her series, there are no more on the way.

My library has a section when you first come in where the librarians put up new releases and some of their favorites, and I usually just head there and get about 10 books, all sorts of different authors. None have disappointed so far.

I also don't even listen to the radio any longer, I head to the books on CD section, and I find the ones for Young Adults to be the best stories. I recently got hooked on the Pendragon series. My commute to work is about 30 minutes, and home is 45 minutes. And any time I'm on a road trip alone, I always make sure I have a couple of books on CD for the trip.

Oh, and the Kindle is going to be mine one day!!!!

Have you read the Otherworld series by Yasmin Galenorn? You might like those! Also Rachel Vincent has a series about werecats that I love!

Stephen King "Dark Tower Series", "The Stand"
Anne McCaffhrey "Dragon Riders of Pern"
Donna Tart "Secret History"
E.E. Knight has a dragon series which is pretty good.
Anne Rice "The Mayfair Witch Series"

I love anything by Anne Rice, the Mayfair Witches especially! I also have all of the Vampire Chronicles...

Another series I really like is the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon, Eldest, etc...) by Christopher Paolini. I can't wait for the next installment!

My favourite authors are Darren Shan, Chuck Palahniuk, George Orwell and S.E Hinton.

I have quite a few different favourite books. I could easily say my favourite book is probably A Clockwork Orange. An absolutely amazing book and quite a badazzz movie. That Kubrick was a damn genius.

Other favourites include Invisible Monsters, Fight Club, 1984, the Outsiders, Animal Farm, the Harry Potter series, and Darren Shan's vampire saga.

I also really enjoy books they had us read in school. Lord Of The Flies, To Kill A Mockingbird, LOADS of Shakespeare plays.

I love reading. I plan to major in English.

I also loved the required reading in school! Especially The Outsiders, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Romeo and Juliet. There was another one that I really liked but I don't remember what it was called...

I read constantly John Grisham, Michael Crichton are a couple of my favorite authors, 1984 is a great one too

I love the Dragonlance series, as I know Tracy Hickman personally.
