We've done the movie thread. Time for the Book thread.

Hmmm.

I used to read a lot but have little time for reading, much less listening to music.

Anyway, I like Vonnegut a LOT. I have read every single one of his books several times.

I also liked the Gap series by Steven Donaldson. Excellent outerspace sci-fi stuff.

Read a lot of Ludlum too.

And I read the crap out of the Hobbit and LOTR of course.

Mainly I read kids books now to the kiddies and I read bicycling and music magazines and look at Penthouse.

I've been on an Orson Scott Card kick lately. A couple of recent ones (besides the obvious Ender's Quartet):

Treasure Box
Enchantment
Songmaster

I would recommend either of the latter two first, although the first one won't disappoint.

...and I also recently finished reading Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson. I would recommend anything by this guy, but I wouldn't start with this one, as it is a "difficult" read (plus, it's part of "the Baroque Cycle", and he's already written the next two! Can you believe it!?!).
