    I love the Hobbit and LOTR, also in fantasy/scifi category like Thomas Covenant chronicles by Stephen Donaldson, Druss the Legend by David Gemmell, Time of the Dark by Barbara Hambly, Magician by Raymond E Feist.

    In more scientific stuff i have The Dancing Wu Li Masters there, just haven't got around to reading it yet.

    Jeez how did I forget those... Every one of those are brilliant.
    The Gap series was tip top too.
    I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I do not know the answer.

        what I'm reading just now

        I recently got a sony ereader and in the last 3 weeks i have read the Rats series by James Herbert. A set of books i read many moons ago..just superb reading.

        Right now I'm reading Lee Evans autobiography and i must admit within the first 4 chapters i had tears running down my face - of laughter....it is so funny. i would highly recommend this book.

        I noticed that someone said they were reading - Deadline by Simon Kernick...would that be the ebook version or the paper version? if you have the ebook version i would love to have a read of it as well.

        Thanks
        Angela

              Both me and the missus have always been big reader's. Mine are mainly sci-fi and fantasy , current read is Peter hamilton The Reality Dysfunction that I've read before and am now going through the trilogy again - just got his new book as well. The missus is a horror fan , her favorite at the moment is Dean *****z - which ever one she picks up next.
              Our spare room has 2 walls of nothing but bookshelves that we have to keep going through to find room for new books.

                      A think reading is a brilliant thing to do and ave often got a few books on the go.
                      A always read a few chapters before bedtime and sometimes a like to read a bit when fishing, there is nothing better than sitting in a boat being gently rocked, lying flat out with your rod out and bite detector switched on reading a good book,,,as long as the book doesn't contain anything with Ahab or wales in it.
                      The missus swears i'm a different person when a come home from a days fishing, that's usually when a agree to silly things like painting the living room again or hoovering her car and polishing it,, you know, the kinda things you agree to after sex.

                      Its good to see technology playing a good part in reviving reading rather than being painted as the Anti-Christ.
                      It did suprise me that Steve Jobs completely missed ebooks at first, he said"it was something that would never catch on",, oops, Steve done a full 360 when he saw that people do still read and they read a lot.
                      You only have to look at the amount of posts on DK devoted to books, its amazing how a industry can be revived if its put on the right platform.

                      Personally a like the old fashioned way of actually picking up a paper book..
                      It just feels right, going to my local library or book shop and taking my time to select the right book or have a expert recommend my next book.
                      I tried reading on the iPad, it was good but it didn't have the same experience as a real book imo.
                      However my opinion doesn't matter as the important thing is people are reading and that can only be a good thing...

                          I just finished the Mistborn trilogy in paperback. Makes me a bit sad that with the e readers, actual books seem to be falling by the wayside. Then again I'm sort of glad that I don't have to worry about the spines breaking, and pages falling out anymore XD
