Favorite genres, favorite authors, favorite books, favorite magazines? Classics? New favorites?

LOL fair enough. If you've sworn off the books, you still might find the Alchemyst Game pretty fun.

PS. I ordered Exquisite Corpse off Amazon. Color me excited!!!!

Yikes. Is it wrong to be interested in this title?

Have you heard of the Alchemyst series?

Haha no, I'd say it's quite healthy. If you like that, her other books Drawing Blood and Lost Souls are pretty sweet too.

For books, I'll read anything, except Young Adult novels. My favorites of the moment are:

Wraeththu by Storm Constantine
The Nightrunner Series by Lynn Flewelling
Watership Down by Richard Adams
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann
Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite
Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite (Horribly disgusting but friggin' awesome)
Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille (Also very grotesque)
Lord of the Flies by William Golding


And the only magazines I read are Rue Morgue, Horror Hound and Fangoria. Although, Fangoria has been kinda lame lately.

I dig those alternative culture mags like Revolver, etc. but Time is still good for good old fashioned news. And I agree that video game magazines are kind of lame...I think it's more fun to just discover any given game on your own and not have all these ridiculous cheat codes at your fingertips.

i just said in my post i like historical fiction and fantasy.

why would i only like fantasy literature?

who only likes one specific genre?

i also enjoy harry potter because well hello it's only the best series ever written.

Do you only like Potter or other Fantasy Lit?

I read magazines almost exclusively, so I should probably go read books more often. I pretty much only read music magazines, metal or punk magazines in particular. Zero Tolerance, Metal Maniacs, and Maximum Rock & Roll are all great. Just acquired my first issue of MRR not long ago, but Zero Tolerance and Metal Maniacs have been with me for a bit longer. Used to read a lot of Gamepro when I was in Elementary school. Also got a pretty big stack of Metal Hammer and Revolver magazines in my room, though they don't interest me anymore. Video games still do, but since I don't devote as much time to video games as music, I don't buy video game magazines anymore.
