Chabon is probably my current favorite modern prose writer; he's absolutely amazing. http://www.renlearn.com/store/quiz_home.asp?cmd=specific&i=79695&root=AUTHOR&ftextoption=allwords&y=Chabon&q=Chabon&x=10&w=1&autoscroll=NO&quiztype=ALL&RPMatch= edit: From the 'pedia The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a 2000 novel by American author Michael Chabon that won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2001. The novel follows the lives of the title characters, a Czech artist named Joe Kavalier and a Brooklyn-born writer named Sam Clay—both Jewish—before, during, and after World War II. Kavalier and Clay become major figures in the nascent comics industry during its "Golden Age." Kavalier & Clay was published to "nearly unanimous praise" and became a New York Times Best Seller, receiving nominations for the 2000 National Book Critics Circle Award and PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. In 2006, Bret Easton Ellis declared the novel "one of the three great books of my generation", and in 2007, The New York Review of Books called the novel Chabon's magnum opus. | ||

Wheel of Time series is also pretty good, I also like the Dune series (but only the first six books, the later books by his son were really bad I heard) | ||

Now I read Teamliquid lol. Also I've read most of Terry Pratchet and all of Hitchhikers Guide and they aren't THAT special. Good though. | ||

Also, I think those law books are written by John Grisham. I've quite enjoyed all his books I've read, too. | ||

AR is due next week and I have.. about 500k words I need to read haha.. Usually I get all this stuff done pretty quickly but I haven't really been able to find any interesting books this year. Books I really liked (and have already tested) are the Ender series, LotR books, HP books, Bartimaeus Trilogy, Fountainhead and some others I can't really remember right now. I tried to read Inkheart and this bigass book by Tom Clancy, but I got kinda bored of those and stopped reading it. For a point of reference, Fountainhead is around 300k words. Edit: My preferred genre is that of Fantasy/Sci-Fi, or a combination of the two, but I do not mind the other genres. I have read some fiction novels that involved some litigation (Forgot the author's name, books were titled something like "The Judge" or "The Firm", idk), which I enjoyed. As long as its well-written at least, I should enjoy it. More books I really enjoyed:The Last Book in the Universe wow. your are exactly like me. like the book you have read, and your fav genre, this is really, really weird | ||

But if you haven't read it already, I HIGHLY SUPER HIGHLY recommend that you read The Alchemist by...Paulo Coelho. It's a simple but incredibly good book to read. | ||
