Books that is. I love to read in my spare time. Accually running a business I get kind of bored so when I'm not on the computer I'm reading.



I love every book that I read but I would have to say my favorite is "A Brave New World"

I don't have a favorite book series but there Are a few I like most those being the "lord of the rings" "Dune", and of coures the harry potter series.(I kow they are kids books but I 've been a fan scince the 6th grade when the first book came out.)

My favorite authors would have to be Adolf Huxley, JK rowlings, C.S. Lewis, Sir Aurthor Conan Doyle, and Jules Verne

I never read that much at all but i just recently within 3 months read.
-The Da Vinci Code
-1984
-The Outsiders
-A novel on Alexander the great (One of the many on him)

All of which were very good. Dont really have a favorite author because I havent read enough books to have a favorite. But my best choice out of those was Alexander the Great.

Wish I still had time to read, a wife and two kids later I just don't have any free quite time to myself. Maybe when the kids are a little older. Used to have a library of about 600 books, mostly Sci-Fi/Fantasy, which I donated to the local library when we moved last time as we just didn't have room for them. They we pretty happy since it about doubled their current selection.
As for authors I'd have to say my favorite is Anne McCaffrey, actually have read everything she has written. Anymore I only have time to read home improvement books and investment bokks and even those take me forever with all the interuptions.
