    There is a book forum here too, you know.

    But since you asked...

    Walden, Blue Bead, Canary Row, and way more renaissance literature than I would like.

    I can bet that Hellvis is reading or about to read Koontz, Clancy, Rowling, Grisham, Brown, Lovecraft, Tolkien, or some autobiography.

    Journey to Ixtlan - Carlos Castadena
    Little Nemo Adventures in Slumberland and Wonderland (I think the book has both)
    Playboy magazines from the 70's and 80's. I dont know how are the ones now, but the ones back then do have great great articles and I love the girls from the 70's ones.

    Grisham, double yuck. I had to read one of his books back in highschool, boy was that a torture.
    I've never bothered to read Rowling. I just cant become interested in it.
    Brown, as in Dan Brown? I cant stand his writing. I've never been able to finish one of his books.
    Tolkien I do like, not love, but I can read and enjoy.
    The others I've never read.

    Boo King and Tolkien. If you want a really great fantasy series, read Jack L. Chalker's 'The River of the Dancing Gods.'
