Anything by Stephen King is really good, definitely my favorite author. I would recommend Duma Key or Needful Things. Or if you like it a bit darker, Pet Cemetery
Holy shit. I am the only one who has never really read a book all the way through. O.O
But, come to think of it, I remember one book I forced myself into reading back in the 3rd/4th grade or something. Some 100 pages or so in bigger-than-small letters. I think my mark depended on it, and internet wasn't yet much available in our country. But that was such a long time ago. Almost feel like I swore to never read again, haha.

Yes, I read. Too much for my own good, probably. I'm one of those weirdos who goes out to the midnight releases and reads books straight through, then waits about a week and reads them again.
Really? I was going to use these 3 series as examples of good books!SirDeadly said:
Small world...
right now I am re-reading 120 days of Sodom, I blame a friend of mine for that but afterwards planning to pick up War of the Ancients, world of warcraft
I read on the train/bus home and to school or if I'm traveling sometimes to pass the time.
The Witch's Boy is my favorite book of all time.

I enjoy reading, to be sure- problem is that, nowadays, I tend to sit up until 5, sleeping till past noon, and I'm always too tired to concentrate on the little black blips on the page.
Still, I will always respect the medium, even if I don't utilize it

I always blame my experience at school (which is a long, boring and very opinionated story) for making me very anti-reading. To me, it always felt like such a chore, and as such I've never been much of a reader. I've been known to be enjoying a book, and then just not bother finishing it.
Since I started counselling though, and I have downtime with no internet access, I've been reading a lot though. I think I can safely say that I have read more books in the last year than I have probably read in previous 25 years.
During this time I have read good books which my husband loaned me, and bad books that happen to be lying around at work.
Good books:
Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal by Thomas Harris
Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune by Frank Herbert
Okay books:
A Cat Called Birmingham by Chris Pascoe
God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert
Bad (actually, fucking awful) books:
Secret Diary of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
Goodbye Jimmy Choo by Annie Saunders (with a plot I predicted accurately just a few chapters in)
Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding (which I can confirm makes your brain dribble out your nose)
Brief summary: avoid chick-lit.

Seeing as I started reading alot of these books when I early teens I kinda have to finish off the series:
Darren Shan - Demonarta series (not overly complicated by a few random wtf names but like in every book, you can call them what the hell you choose really)
James Patterson- Maximum Ride series (great books, I can fly through these books, see what I did there =p)
Skulduggery Pleasant - just uber, remember I'm 19 and I started reading alot of these books when i was like 14ish (which is apprently their target audience, audience shmordience you can read what ever you books you choose)
and last but not least Dracula! the real badass of the night, not some pussy fag >_<
