wokay. ill try to make this brief hehehehehe. reading is probably my most time consuming passion. mostly i read whatever i can get my hands on that appears not to be boring. but most of the stuff i read fall into a few genres. been reading a lot of fantasy this past year. fav authors in that genre being tolkien, robert jordan and raymond feist. also read a lot of military adventures, especially naval ones, especially allistair mclean. also a lot of adventure stuff mostly things like frederick forsyth. sci fi types altho crichton is the only author i find really good in that genre. a lot of comedy too. things like hitch hikers guide and pg wodehouse. and some math and philosophy. (yes there are math and philosophy fiction books hehe!). things like ayn rand.

H.P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Pierce, Lord Dunsany & Arthur Machen are some of my favorite writers, but i must say I enjoy technical books too like networking and linux books.

Asimov and Philip Dick are great, i just read "Das Parfum" of Patrick Süskind and it is very nice

hate books

Goethe, Schiller, Poe, Orwell, Huxley, Stephenson, Pratchett, Adams, Leary, Nietzsche, Kant etc.
At the moment The Illuminatus Trilogy is waiting for me, but i'm somewhat lazy
