Hi, there. Yes, I have the habit of reading books - lots of them. Trying to narrow it down to just one favourite book is pretty much impossible. But, I'll only talk about two. "The Stand" by Stephen King. Hands down my favourite Stephen King novel. Why? It's set in a post-apocalytic world, and (to me) it's a fascinating study in human behaviour. It is, of course, paranormal/horror, but it is ultimately optimistic, and I really cared about the characters. It's a great ride every time I read it. "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller. I literally could not put this book down when I read it. It made me angry, it broke my heart, and at one point, I threw it across the room - and immediately crawled after it so I could keep reading it. I've never been able to re-read it, but I've never forgotten it.

I love the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, the best and the most prolific writer of our times

Mine are old classics. I really don't take well to modern literature. One of my favorites is a spiritual journey called "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan. Another is "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Something a bit more modern is the "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" T. E. Lawrence or as you might know him, Lawrence of Arabia. Another somewhat modern book I love is "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. So ironic is the subject of the book. There are so many I couldn't do your discussion any real justice. ‹(°¿°)›

I love reading Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, all of them. The books featuring the witches are probably the funniest, with Nanny Ogg, Esmerelda Weatherwax and Magrat Garlick. Check out some of his books

I love to read. My favorite genre is True Crime. I've got over 60 true crime books. The first one I ever read was "Helter Skelter". I was 12 or 13 when I read it. My mother was not pleased when she found out I was reading that book. I do like some fiction books. I like John Grisham novels. "A Time to Kill" is probably my favorite of his books.
