Books:
Take anything from me but my library card!!
I used to read mostly non-fiction (white papers, tech manuals, politics), but that’s damn boring. Over the past 5 years I’ve developed a deep love of fiction – except for Stephen King, whom I’ve been reading since I was 9. I tend towards sci-fi, fantasy, horror and anything twisted. Or weird. Or vaguely interesting. Oh hell, I’ll read anything.
The closer a tale gets to 10,000 pages, the better I like it.
Some of my all time favorites:
Dark Tower series (and everything else) by Stephen King; Ender’s series by Orson Scott Card; Foundation series (and lots of stuff) by Issac Asimov; Harry Potter series by JK Rowling; Illium & Olympos by Dan Simmons; Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (this one might actually be over 10,000 pages!); Rama and 2001 series (and other fiction) by Arthur C Clarke; Novels, comics, children’s’ stories and every fuckin’ thing by Neil Gaiman
Some of my favorite recent reads:
Lisey’s Story by Stephen King; Geek Love by Katherine Dunn; Porno by Irvine Welsh (the sequel to Trainspotting!); The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls; The Road by Cormac McCarthy; Shark Dialogues by Kiana Davenport; Life of Pi by Yann Martel
Heroes:
my mom, my sistah, DR STEEL!!! , John Lilly, Hunter S Thompson, Noam Chomsky
