I'm mostly a magazine reader. If I try to read a novel in bed, I conk out right away. I am interested in trying to read classics in this new format - upright, during daylight hours!

It is safe to say that I am not a reader of the "classics", however I am very open-minded and will read a wide array of different titles across many different genres and themes.
Favorite Authors: Arthur Nersesian, Mumia Abu-Jamal, David Mamet, Kurt Vonnegut, Ernesto Sabato, Ray Bradbury, Michael Cunningham

Insight; Timelessness; Inspiration.
"The great thing is to last, and get your work done, and see, and hear, and learn, and understand. And write when there is something that you know; and not before; and not too damned much after. Let those who want to save the world if you can see it clear and as a whole. Then any part you make will represent the whole if it is made truly. The thing to do is work and learn to make it." (E. Hemingway).

- Heart of Darkness
- Oedipus Rex
- Rebecca
- Story of an Hour
- The Painted Veil
- The Count of Monte Cristo
- Pride and Prejudice

I love nothing better than to read philosophy, the classics, poetry, and Perry Mason Mysteries. Unfortunately, I'm an English teacher, and it seems I only read students' papers.

Last big craze was Jodi Picoult, at the moment liking Phillipa Gregory. Classics are my thing, on the other hand, so is Ben Elton. Last good thing I read, though I wasn't sure to start with was Hurting Distance by Spohie Hannah

I'm a fan of sci-fi novels, though usually not ones set in space. I also like romance novels, especially lesbian romance novels, and the classics like Pride & Prejudice. Recently I've started reading more non-fiction books too.

Taste, what an interesting concept. I often wonder if my taste is good, or for that matter where are my "taste buds" for non-editable items. Did I burn them at some point and is it affecting my taste for such, non-editable, things. At any rate I have seemingly developed an extended appetite for the philosophical and tend to side dish that with classical literature.

Non-fiction. Only fiction manuscripts I'll read are the classics and those prior to the 1950s before all the celebrity-writers came in and became millionaires on 'entertainment'.
