The Reading Room

Any thing by Richard Marciko or Tom Clancy. Tom clancy is good for technical details and stuff, Marcinko is an awesome writer. He created Seal Team 6, and his books go by fast. There is action from the word go!

Hah! Too cool.

I remember reading Shadow of the Toturer (think thats right) by him waaaay back in high school. Unless I am completely misremembering - which is . . uhm . . .. not unlikely given everything that transpired in the interim.

I am glad to see so many replies!

I know exactly what you mean. I can't put a good book down. I have been known to skip nights of sleep to finish a good book. I read the last Harry Potter in under a day (24 hours). I love the off (tax) season, once Cody's at school, Fridays are mine. LOL

Yeah I too have been sucked into the Harry Potter books. I also love the three other authors Wendy has already named Diana Gabaldon, Jennifer Roberson and Jean Auel. I don't like to read anything that is scary, and yes I am a big wuss. :shh: I also love A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare.

Puck! I love Puck, what a wondeful character. Mischeivious little guy, got to love him, all time favorite Shakespear though is still Romeo & Juliet. Although real life is Taming of the Shrew :)

The Hopeless Romantic ;)

In no particular order, my favorite authors of all time.

Ernest Hemingway
Frank Herbert
J.R.R.Toilken
Arthur Conan Doyle
Tom Clancy
Agatha Christie
Joseph Heller
Stephen King
James Herriot(awesome books)
Rudyard Kipling
Charles ****ens
Mark Twain
Edgar Alan Poe
Edgar Rice Burroughs

I'm not reading anything right now :(

The only thing that drives me to bed in the middle of a good book is the thought of the 7 AM wake up call courtesy of my 3 year old! Even then I can go till 4 AM!

I used to read alot, now I have the same issue as some others. I'm asleep in 5-10 minutes. I like Crichton, that's probably the most of one author I've read. I am also into the DragonLance series but my progress with that has slowed. My boss at work got me hooked on audio books wich is great for the 30+ drive each way to work. The Davinchi code, Angels and Demons, Digitial Fortress...all by Dan Brown are SUPERB to say the least. I hope the movie coming out of The Davinci Code is as good as the book.

*edit...I forgot to mention I have a book on Oscars sitting here in front of me at the moment (fish).

right now im reading the latest issue of Reptiles Magazine, and The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. its for a book report at school but i like that book anyway.

The Chronicles of Narnia are very good books, but I actually liked The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe the least of the bunch.
