Hmm... These days, it's mostly the news, science, business, and other articles of interest. With all the things going on in the world these days, I don't need fiction for entertainment. ;) Some old faves include 1984, Trainspotting, A Clockwork Orange, Slaughter House Five, Catcher In the Rye, and some technical books about baseball.
