Altrondragon's post about Dune made me wonder what everyone likes to read?
I read alot of Fantasy, Historical Fiction (set in medieval times), some horror.

The last two books I read were during Christmas vacation. One concerned the rise, fall and rise of the Harlem Globetrotters.. the other was about the rise and plunge of AOL-Time Warner. I don't care much for pure fiction, prefer non-fictional reading.

Oh no, not boring at all. I find it fascinating the inner workings of corporate America and the shady/dirty deals that went down between AOL and Time Warner.

LOL, you sound like my husband Don. He makes fun of me for reading 'make believe' stuff. lol He mostly just reads the news paper, but has read some autobiographies.

Yeah, I have the first Shannara series on my pile. I have a few ahead of them.
I was taking a Fantasy break as I just finished 2 David Eddings series (The Belgariad and The Malloreon)
Right now I am listening to an audio book for a group reading thing. It is a Crime/romance novel. Murder List by Julie Garwood. It is sort of out of my element. The fisrt time I've tried an audio book also and the narrator is very annoying to listen too! mad
Then I have some Historical Fiction novels to read, 2 set in Tudor England and both about Henry VIII's wives. I had just finished one about Anne Boleyn (the 2nd wife)
I also want to read Eragon and or course Harry Potter 7..I've pre-ordered it.
As well as Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
..so yeah, I like to read xd

Use to only read psychological thrillers and an occasional Biography. But then my stepdaughters turned me onto Anne McCaffrey…There is something to be said for a loosing yourself in a good Fantasy!!
My favorite Authors are James Patterson, Janet Evanovich, Patricia Cornwell, Michael Connelly, Tom Clancy, Anne McCaffrey, Mary Higgins Clark, Jack Higgins, Michael Crichton, Jonathan Kellerman, John Grisham, Tamora Pierce and Nicholas Sparks!
Right now I am reading.....Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier
