I just finished reading "Christine" by Stephen King today, fantastic book, and I was wondering how many bookworms we have on E6. I know some of you have to read once in awhile. ;D

currently reading: "All the Weyrs of Pern" by Anne McCaffery. Gonna reread The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher soon. :)
Definitely a bookworm, here though.

:D I love the Pern series! I have a couple of the Dragonriders books sitting on my shelf. Right now I'm reading Lisa Jackson's "Deep Freeze".

Most of my reading material is still packed away, so I'm reading through the Lord of the Ring series. I honestly liked it a lot better when I was a kid.

:D I'm "pirating" them (because my local library's a %#@%)#@% hour away, else I'd just borrow them), and have been trolling ebay lately in hopes of finding someone selling all of their collection :D this is my first read through of it all.. (well, no, I read about half of them about 10 years ago.. but now, there are MOAR to read!)

Also planing on reading Valdemar sometime soon..

I'd recommend anything by Michael Crichton or S.D. Perry.

Meh, I can't get past Michael Crichton's terrible pseudoscience.

Quite much, though I haven't really read any Stephen king books, but I have nearly all LOTR, HP books and currently in the search for Graham Edward's dragon book series (I have dragonstorm, still looking for the others). Since I finished HP recently I am pondering to venture into Vampire the Masquerade books or Warhammer 40k.

If you haven't read the cthulhu mythos yet, you should go and do that.

"Oh look, what clever children!..."
lol
Nah,I only read Wikipedia articles,not fan of reading books.

Currently reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

+1, the Pern serie was awesome.

I used to be quite the bookworm, though i only read a limited amount of authors.
I've read the entire bibliography of Frank Herbert (around 70 books), and a good bunch of the Star Wars serie (the whole stuff that happens after the movies).

Now i've slowed down, only reading Terry Pratchett, which is not any less awesome.

I'm currently reading Richard Morgan's Takeshi Kovacs books. Not sure how I've managed to not read them, really.

I'm waiting for the next Dresden Files book and a whole load of others in the pipeline that are on my 'buy immediately' list (Butcher, Stross, Green (Nightside, Secret Histories), Ringo, Weber (Honorverse), Correia)

I started off with (techno)thrillers - Jack Higgins, Dale Brown and Tom Clancy - moved through action/espionage - Ludlum and Forsyth - to scifi (mostly milsf) Gibson (both of them), Stross, Asher, Banks, Ringo, Weber and more...

Oh, and the fantasy stuff (LOTR, of course, but more to the grittier end of things (see Correia's monster Hunter books for a prime example).

Bookworm? Oh yes.

Yes, definitely check those out. You can download the entire collection freely and legally.

I too am reading a Pern novel. Anne McCaffrey's "The Skies of Pern." I don't know if you have gotten that far in the series and don't want to give away anything but it really takes an odd turn.

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time and many of Piers Anthony's books are highly recommended.

I read constantly, although more nonfiction than anything else.

It's a pretty simplistic story, you're either good or bad, no inbetween. And your good/evil orientation is almost always determined by birth, ugh. Definitely more appealing to the young. If you want complex fantasy I highly recommend Frank Herbert's DUNE, though that novel isn't perfect either with some outdated worldviews/prejudices of its own.

And if you don't mind your fantasy being incredibly dark - Kentaro Miura's BERSERK is probably the best comic book I have ever read, if not the best book period. You just have to give it a chance for the first few volumes and look under the horror and gore for the philosophy and beautifully crafted characters underneath.

I'm not quite there yet. I think that's the next one I get to read? I'm not positive though. :D no spoilers!

I haven't read any good books recently, but I do read a ton of internet material if that counts.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to do that. Got Altered Carbon as a birthday present a few years ago, and liked it a lot.

I read a lot of science fiction and fantasy (and works that fall somewhere in between). I rather like military fiction as well. As a college student working part-time, I don't really have enough money to buy as many books as I'd like, and my nearby libraries have shitty selections. That, combined with my enjoyment of military SF, means that Baen is my favorite publisher right now.
