I read mostly fantasy things, typically series of an epic scope like A Song of Ice and Fire, The Wheel of Time, and The Malazan Book of the Fallen. Doesn't need to be epic fantasy though, I'll read pretty much anything of the genre that catches my eye. Every once in a while I'll make a foray into other areas: if it's just because I'm feeling like reading something other than fantasy, it'll probably be something in the supernatural or horror realm (most likely a Stephen King book, maybe a Dean Koontz one if I feel like taking the chance of garbage or gold that his books seem to present, never a middle ground with that guy and it goes the way of garbage more often than gold), or maybe just a thriller type thing set in modern times (sometimes action-adventure stuff like James Rollins writes, sometimes legal thrillers courtesy of John Grisham); otherwise it was probably a book someone recommended highly to me, because I don't tend to look for non-fantasy books to read unless it's by an author I already know I like. There's certainly tons of good stuff out there that I'd probably like, but screw it, I've got a huge list of fantasy things I still want to read (over 200 items on the list, most of those items being series consisting of 3+ books) so I'll just stick to that unless someone brings my attention to something else by throwing a recommendation and/or the book itself at my face. [quote=Strangelander] When I'm not on the computer, drawing, or doing homework, I'm reading. I just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman, which had one of the weirdest sex scenes I've ever read right at the end of the first chapter. Still, it was a good book.[/quote] Hah, I just started reading American Gods a couple days ago. I know exactly the scene you're talking about. I hadn't been aware of just how weird the book was going to be, so that was a fun way to come to the realization that it's going to get super weird. I'm enjoying it so far, but I'm only about 150 pages into it.
