Fantasy -- "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien - bar none. \n(Coming in second would be Alan Dean Foster's "Spellsinger" series for ease of reading and sheer humor. Those who have experienced "Mudge" or "ol' Mudger" know what I mean.)\n\nScience Fiction -- Asimov's "Foundation" series and Clarke's "Odyssey" and "Rama" books are wonderful.\n\nNon-fiction (travel essays) -- Neil Peart (Rush's drummer) has 3 books, and they are all *terrific*:\n- "Masked Rider"\n- "Ghost Rider"\n- "Traveling Music"\n\n\nAside to fancybrowneyes: there's nothing "hokey" about that - you like what you like, so there's no reason to "apologize." : )

There are a lot of really great authors, but my favorite has always been Stephen King-I think it was because he got me interested in writing when I was 12 and I'm trying to get my own novel published now.  \n\nOther good authors include Rahl Dahl, Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Philip K. Dick, Michael Crichton, Tad Williams, Isaac Asimov, C.S. Lewis, James Patterson, George R.R. Martin, etc. etc.  Of course there are other authors I haven't read yet, who I would probably like.

one of my sisters had a friend over and we went into my room to get something, and i have a big bookshelf crammed with books, she looks at the books and asks "do you like to read?"  hahahaha\nand if youve ever heard of bill engvall (a comedian), i made the remark, "nope, i just like looking at all the pictures!...heres your sign"  hahaha  she gave me the weirdest look because they were all chapter books...then she asked 'what kind of pictures!  lol  i just about died!!  hahaha\n\nanother one is, well, i have tons of wolf pictures on my walls, wolf figurines, blankets and pillows, and a person asked me if i liked wolves...i cant believe some of the things people ask when the answer is right infront of them!!!!

I agree- are you talking fiction or non-fiction?\n\nFor non-fiction, it's difficult, but I really love "Pomosexuals" by Carol Queen and Lawrence Schimel- just for showing all the awesome varieties of sexual and gender expression, and the intersections of each.\n\nFor fiction, I doubt there's been anything quite so to the point and wonderful as Leslie Feinberg's "Stone Butch Blues".  It was both an immensely touching story, a social and political message, and remains one of the very few explanations of butch lesbian/stone butches/TG butches.  Perfect.

The Big Orange Splot by Daniel Manus Pinkwater\nThe Paperbag Princess by Robert Munsch\nThe Jacket I Wear in the Snow by Shirley Neitzel\nAraboolies of Liberty Street by Sam Swope\nSam, Bangs & Moonshine by Evaline Ness\nIan's Walk: A Story About Autism by Laura Lears\n\nI'd do any books that aren't by Dr. Suess or isn't 'Where the Wild Things Are' bcause they are soooooo popular

The Judy Bolton mysteries by Margaret Sutton are really good books. Judy is a very likeable heroine and the stories are all interesting.  Judy was much more fun than Nancy Drew.  Also, all the novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery (such as Anne of Green Gables) are absolutely wonderful and fun to read.

Nelson Demille has some good Bestsellers.  Plum Island and Lions Game are both good thriller/action type books with a little sarcastic humor.  The combo makes for good, quick and easy reading!
