I like autobiographies, particularly if they're written by strong, successful women. I also dig (well written) trash novels about slutty fashionistas and books about vampires (kind of the same thing, right?). Noam Chomsky, Chuck Palahniuk, David Sedaris, and Kurt Vonnegut. I'll pretty much read anything provided it can hold my interest.
