I usually read two or three books at the same time. Second hand books mostly, unless I get a gift.

I love fantasy novels.

Yup I love to read. I generally read fiction but there's nothing like a good autobiography, if the person has a good story to tell.

I'm reading Lauren Conrad's novels at the minute, they're quite addictive. Then I have to read The Host by Stephanie Meyer [Twilight Saga author] and I'd like to read The Lovely Bones before I see the film.

I read Of Mice and Men then other day, great read, such complex characters.

I used to read a lot but then I stopped really for a few years but now I'm reading a lot more again. I've got a fair few books to work through, At the moment I'm reading the first True Blood book but I've also got the His Dark Materials Trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the Bourne books to read.

I've read a ridiculous amount of books, I've got the ability to walk and read and I'm never on London transport without a paperbook.
I've read all of Stephen King, Herbert (both James and Frank), Koontz, Grisham, Dickens, Shakespeare, Dante trilogy, etc...
I raid charity shops mostly...
