I'm not much of a reader, as these are all authors whom I would have read in college or high school. But I liked what I read.

Hmmm yeah most of my favorite writers are t he ones t hat write books my kids will r ead !!!


The last time I was in a reading binge it was things like
Piers Anthony and Carlos Castenada

not much reading for me these days, but some of my past favorites were

Joseph Campbell

James Redfield

Deepak Chopra

Tony Hillerman

Hunter Thompson

Not much time for reading that isnt a textbook for the last few years, but...

Hunter Thompson
Jack Kerouac
Ernest Hemmingway

And, every now and then the Art of War is worth a browse.

Otherwise, just whatever generic fiction drifts my way, but isnt really worth mentioning.

LOVE Hemingway, I guess you can't spend as much time in Key West as I do and NOT like Hemingway.

Lao-Tzu is a constant companion as well as Chuang Tzu.

Hunter S Thompson is CLASSIC, my buddy Randy Wayne White used to hang out with him and take him fishing, he has a few stories about Hunter.....

In this day and age where there are over 1,000 channels of cable TV, internet, and mp3 players with 120gb worth of music in them, I think the younger generation may be missing out on books.....I remember as a child going to the library, searching for a particular book, having to do "inter-library loan" and WAIT weeks for that book to come from some other library or university before I got to read it.

Hi,

Reading as in not technical or educational but just for joy and excitment?

I grew up in a home of books and live in one now. Actually I try to read on the subway on my way to work other than that I haven't had time to read as many books as I once did, more or less always carrying a book something I have enjoyed doing all my life, oh well at least I get to read a little:)
