For lack of a better title, The Book Thread!
Karn:
My summer reading:
East of Eden - John Steinbeck
On the Road - Jack Kerouac
As I Lay Dying - William Faulkner
Eats, Shoots & Leaves - Lynne Truss
Rise to Rebellion - Jeffrey Shaara
The first four were/are pretty decent. I haven't started the last one yet.

I looked through the forum and I didnt think I saw any mention of the book The Crimson Petal and the White. This book acctually just grabbed me from the cover, I had never heard of the author Michel Faber. Now I'm quite a fan. Good read, good read.
odiethis:
I totally dig Neil Gaiman, both his prose and his comics. I also love Alan Moore. I'm about halfway through Gaiman's "Smoke and Mirrors" collection of short stories. I have also been reading "Rebel Without A Crew" by Robert Rodriguez, about how he made El Mariachi.
5thWheel:
If fantasy is your thing, Hugh Cook is IMHO totally awesome & since a few of his books have gone out of print he has uploaded them in their entirety so you can try them out for free. "The Wordsmiths and the Warguild" is probably the worst of the three by quite a margin; the other 2 rock.
& @ soap: if you like William Golding, I remember "The Spire" being pretty good, if somewhat metaphor-bludgeonly.
Xerakon:
Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time)
J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter)

J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings)

.. is this a natural selection, or is my bookshelf just fracked up?
