Anyone read any good books lately then? I usually prefer reading sci-fi/fantasy novels but at the minute I'm reading Shogun by James Clavell

One of my favorite authors is Clive Cussler and the Dirk Pitt Series. I also enjoy reading just about anything except romance.

Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt novels are also amongst my favourites, i can read them over and over and over.

William Woodruff is a fantastic writer.

World War Z - Max Brooks just in case you are into zombies

Rule of the Bone - Russel Banks really fun, lots of weed smoking and life lessons. awesome book.

and finally

anything by - Haruki Murakami if you are into strange japanese post-war modernism, real deep reading, confusing, and at the same time AMAZING, my favorite author by far.

My wife loves those books.

I've not read them yet, but I don't think it will be my bag.

Earlier today I went to a book store and found a small green book with a weed leaf on it and inside were a bunch of cool quotes from people you wouldn't expect to smoke such as Carl Sagan (from Cosmos) and Albert Einstien lol it was a good and funny read

Sorry man, it just means that I don't think that I would like this author very much.
