Here in my country is a regular habit of hearing someone that he doesn't like to read
If you start reading Asimov start with the Foundation series it's very good by me the best he ever wrote;btw i myself haven't read all of Asimovs work cuz i could not find them all

Most of my favorites would be,

Fantasy:
Robert Jordan
Terry Goodkind
Steven Erikson
John Marco
James Clemens
David Forbes

Sci-fi:
Tad Williams
Douglas Adams

Japanese pup-fiction:
Koushun Takami (Battle Royale the novel)

I would have to say that those authors are the best of the best in my opinion. If you are a fantasy fan, I demand that you look up those authors listed

Thank you DaysAreDone but in Romania books by these authors (with a few exeptions) havent been published and english literature is in short quantitys and qualities

I read Caragiale ... it`s very funny

Great to here you read him i think hes funny too, i dont know if they published it in other countries but it would be great...

Celestial Prophecy would be my suggestion to anyone who hasn't read it...

Hi, well I think reading is a part of a process in my life.... my head is usually busy with other things, but still I like to read, and everytime I have some time, I like to read classics... the last book I read was "Wuthering heights" from Emily Bronte. It was just excelent, I liked it so much. Most of what I read is latinoamerican authors. Latinoamerica has a lot of wealth in terms of literature...I like to read,but I don't consider my self such "that" reader...geez I'm so average at a lot of things =) I recommend you to read García Márquez, Fernando Soto Aparicio, and they're just a few from a bunch of great writers....reading is just so great, it abstracts me from the coldness of my surrounding to beautifull places, it's great you guys read to

WOW your the fist person who read Whutering Heights .... I mean, in my country we dont appreciate english literature; I thought i had the time to read someday but i eventually found out i hadnt Well anyway i read something made by Garcia Marquez but i dont think i like it.

Hi all

Books are for people without internet. Though I like reading anyway. Mostly fantasy at the moment.

Some of my favorite writers would be Jean M. Auel, Stephen King and R. A. Salvatore.

Most of the stuff I read is science fiction or fantasy, although I do enjoy a good mystery now and then. I live in central Jersey, so the Janet Evanovich novels which take place there are fun for me to read.

It's not literature, but I read a ton of blogs. So addictive!

Books are for people without internet

I totally disagree with that; in the last months ive got bored of my pc especially th internet; i know however that i will neverv get bored of books

Trylogy Dan Brown.
1. The Da Vinci Code
2. ANGELS & DEMONS
3. Digital Fortress

And book Alchemik - Paulo Coelho.
My fav. books when i ever read

As I noticed, nobody mentioned P.K.Dick and S.Lem- they're best Sf-writers I've ever tried- intelectual

Neil Gaiman is also interesting- kindof fiction in real world, my favourite is American Gods/with gods, similar to normal people/

Stanislaw Lem is good but his works have not imppresed me as Asimov. Honestly i hate the works of Philip K.Dick dont know why just do.
Hmmm how could i forget Paolo Coelho i love most of his books but he isnt all that high favored in my house
