Yes, just one more from me to get the ball rolling.

What do you find yourself enjoying to read?
When it comes to novels, I love anything along the lines of a psychological thriller. I guess I like anything with good drama as well.

Blurgh I'm a loser I know .. I like the romace books. But only Caroline Leavit's books. She always makes them mystery with romance and they are always so amazing. I always find myself up til dawn reading her books. She gives a wonderful ending, but its never the one you expect or the one you would want.

Does anyone remember those pre-teen book series, like Goosebumps?
Man, the days of the book fair at school. laugh.gif
I actually collected and still have every book from the Animorph series, my personal favorite when I was little.

^yah, i remember goosebumps ;X they were badly written, haha, but i guess it's all right as for entertainment value. animorphs was a bit better.

in reply to what was mentioned up there: psychological thrillers are interesting. biographies are, too, depending on who. fictional adventure books amuse me as well. i don't like romance novels too much... i guess most of them are too mushy/corny for my liking.

the most enjoying for me are art/science/tech books/magazines ;]... thrillers/mystery probably comes second... anything that makes me think.

I'm always exceptionally turned on by the classics:

-Oscar Wilde
-Fitzgerald
-Heller
-Plath
-Faulkner

on, and on, and on. I like reading Faulkner particularly. Why, you say?

Because I have to have a dictionary sitting beside me to understand what on earth he's saying half the time.

I have Animorph books.. from the 1st book the the 32nd one and like 2 specials or something.. I love reading playwrites and screenplays though.. they just amuse me more than normal books.. I can read any books as long as it's not too boring in the beginning.. stubborn.gif

I'm into 'real life' fiction. At least that's what I want. I am also reading a lot of memoirs, and I've become a total graphic novel junkie.

A lot of the modern plays out are pretty damn good.
The last one I've read was a group of monologues compiled together.
All true, all based on interviews from people involved with the riots that happened here in Los Angeles.

Play's called 'Twilight in Los Angeles' by Anna Deavere Smith.
She performed the whole thing by herself, which is pretty damn amazing.

anything with both magic and romance happy.gif
