Dan Brown(Though i recognise as a writer he's piss poor)

Roal Dahl, Brian Jaques, Spike Milligan on ligher notes.

And ive read just about every personal Recounance on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars that has been written( just about)

oh and how can i forget Samual Pepys diarys, and shakespear/Dickens

To name a few i doubt all of those even touch of a tenth...the home Libary is simply huge, thousands.

Edit: Also books on theology or religious history, as well as the Qu'ran and Hadiths

Yeah, I mostly read stuff on politics or religion, the newspaper, magazines and the occational novel.
I just got done reading "I.O.U.S.A." about all the debt the US is in and how it's ruining us and the economic crisis.
I also got done reading Psychology Today :3.

Some of my favorites are:

"The Revolution" by Ron Paul
"The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair
"Consumed" by I'm spacing -_-
"Grapes of Wrath" by... ugh I'm spacing again
"The Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks
"The Quran" by Mohammed
"1984" by George Orwell
"Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien
"The Traveler/The Dark River/ ?" (4th Realm Trilogy) by John Twelve Hawks

I like both nonfiction and all kinds of fiction. I read the Bible, of course! But other than that ...

Some of my favorite authors, listed because I've read and like more than one of their books:
Jane Austen
Charles Dickens
Michael Crichton

And some random favorite books/series:
The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkein
The Inheritance Cycle, by Christopher Paolini (I haven't read Brisingr yet! gonk )
The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells (I think it's interesting how his views on Socialism and such came out in his work)
So Much More, by Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin (AWESOME)
Emily Post's Etiquette, by Peggy Post xd
Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott

EDIT: Some books that I want to read in the near future:
A Church in the House, by Matthew Henry and Scott Brown
Family Driven Faith, by Voddie Baucham
Raising Maidens of Virtue, by Stacy McDonald
Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift
The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, by John Knox (free on Google Books! Yay!)

I also read lots of blogs and articles (I'm currently trying to get through all the information on the Vision Forum Ministries website).

I know!
The Revolution (no pun intended) revolutionized my thinking about politics. I <3 Ron Paul.

But I suppose if you put it that way.
I'm not Muslim so I believe that Mohammed wrote it as opposed to God though razz .
