If its printed, and doesnt have Fabio on the cover, I'll read it. My favourite non-fiction subjects are; World War 2, ( I am a active re-creationist, both table top, and actual) Modern History, (1788-nowish) Ancient History, specifically, Ancient Europe (the gauls and Vikings) and...

B for The Hardy Boys, my introduction to books without pictures many many years ago.

X for The X Files. Some of the books are actually pretty good.

I discovered last year, when I was living with a postie, that Australia post has these wonderful crates, made out of corrugated plastic, which are about 30cm deep, by 1mtr long, by 20cm wide, which hold plenty of books without breaking, and without getting too heavy. wonderful stuff when I move.

The Stand? Hope everyones a fast reader, or it will be the September / October book :D

J for Jules Verne, again no introduction necessary.

F for Raymond E Feist, author of the Riftwar Saga

my favourite Tolkein inspired author is George R R Martin. His Song of Fire and Ice series is amazing.
