Posted November 10, 2006 Currently reading: King of the Murgos [The Mallorean - David Eddings] The God Delusion [Richard Dawkins] When it comes to fictional I just LOVE fantasy, and The Belgariad/The Mallorean by David Eddings is incredible. As the area of philosophy interests me greatly I sometimes read philosophical books too, well to be honest The God Delusion is my first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 10, 2006 I read quite a bit. Some of my favorites are The Hitch Hiker's Guide to The Galaxy series, a few of George Orwell's Books, Stephen King's, a few of a Dan Brown's and Malorie Blackman's Naughts and Crosses series. Also quite randomly Lucas by Kevin Brooks has a place in my heart. Can anyone suggest some books - especially if you like some of my favorite books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 11, 2006 Medicine, I believe. Just been reading Everyman by Phillip Roth which is interesting- it's the life story of an unnamed man, charted almost exclusively by his increasing hospitalizations as he gets older and his health begins to fail. It's a very interesting read....oh, and Phillip Roth is The Shit. Amazingly powerful writer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 11, 2006 gggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkssss. Just kidding. I read from time to time, normally fiction stuff like Discworld and Harry Potter, and Marvel comics. I'm reading Spider-Girl graphics novels at the moment though, which are better than I expected. For anyone looking for a good read, I would recommend HDM trilogy(Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass) by Phillip Pullman, possibly my favourite story ever.
