Favorite Books
I've just finished reading "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman (the guy's written mostly scripts, he should get back to writing novels). It was pretty good, espicially with the mixing of genres. My favorite genre is fantasy. I've fallen in love with the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. I've read "The Hobbit" about 7 times and never get tired of it. My mom read the first book of "The Lord Of the Rings" when the films originally came out. We stopped in the begining of "The Two Towers" because the whole part with Merry and Pippin and the orcs scared me. My birthday is coming up on the 16th of March and I want the book "Beowulf" (it's actually a 1,000 year old poem written in Anglo-Saxon).

I think stephen hunter writes some good books. the bob lee swagger books are good (at least point of impact (shooter was based on) time to hunt and I sniper. I heard the other novels kind of veered away. Pale horse coming is good too.
Matthew reilly wrotes some fun reads. The shane schofield series (ice station, area 7, scarecrow) were great. There just over the top action, fun as hell. i liked Without remorse by tom clancy, several of his other novels tend to drag on though.

I've been reading Battle Royale. A translated from Japanese. It's very interesting.

I seriously can't remember the last time I ever read a novel. Literally. I used to read Tom Clancy and Mark Bowden when I was younger, but that was a while ago now.
Actually, it's becoming pretty rare that I read printed word at all. Everything I read is online, including all of my research. My printer, too, is already collecting dust.
