I like to read when i can and I was wondering if anyone knew some
good authors/books. Personally, i love all of C.S. Lewis' work and i like J.R.R. Tolkien, Eion Colfer, and many others. Any input would be awesome. Thanks!

If you are into Vampire novels........................... Anne Rice.

Any of the 10 or so she's written.

If you have never read any of them, start with Interview with a Vampire.
That will get you started.

I like to read them by candle light...................... Ged's me in the mood for reading. :cool:

These days, if I can make the time, I'll usually only read something by Stephen King. He's one of the few authors I've found that can keep my interest (by painting a very vivid picture in my mind) beyond a chapter or two.
Don't tell me about rock and roll I'm out there in the clubs and on the streets and I'm living it! I am rock and roll!

Personally, I find Stephen King incredi8bly dull. It may be the fact that his books seem incredibly padded so they're three times the length they ought to be.
