I was a part of that scene back in the 90's.   I met many of those people including James St. James. I was with him in the VIP room at a party here in Dallas and he over dosed on K and had to be carried out of the place. Ah, those were the days.

I don't read anywhere as much as I used to... But I just finished The Salmon of Doubt, basically a collection of odds and ends and a few chapters of a new book that Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) was writing before he died... He was a very most interesting person!
Or else, I usually read a variety of stuff, but favorite authors are Dean Koontz, Michael Chrichton, Clive Cussler. Tom Clancy too, very thick, long-winded books, best value for money  Or else, bathroom reading are magazines like Import Tuner, Sport Compact Car, etc...

check out "A Confederacy of Dunces" by Toole A Confederacy of Dunces is a novel written by John Kennedy Toole, published in 1980, 11 years after the author's suicide. The book was published through the efforts of the writer Walker Percy (who also contributed a revealing foreword) and Toole's mother, quickly becoming a cult classic. Toole posthumously won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for the book in 1981. It is an important part of the 'modern canon' of Southern literature. |

I've usually got my nose in a book. Right now I'm reading a compilation of short scifi stories from 1924-1962. Its pretty wild reading stuff from that time period, you might even say "daffy".
I read a lot from Stephen King, James Rollins, Lee Child and Dean Koontz. |

"Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodkind. Yeah, it starts off like "Lord of the Rings" and "The Wheel of Time", but it becomes it's own story very quickly, and is probably my favorite of all time. The final book comes out this summer! Goodkind catches some flak for mixing his strong political views into a fantasy world, but that's actually what I like about it... makes it more real. Some pretty adult subject matters, too.
Greg Keyes' "Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone" series is pretty cool as well. The atmosphere is very Lovecraft. Creepy!  And of course, Harry Potter and Eragon. For those of you who have read Eragon, did you notice it's basically a re-hashing of the Star Wars (episode 3) plot? I was a bit disappointed when I realized that, but what can you expect from a 16 year-old? BTW, for any avid Sci-Fi/fantasy readers out there who don't already know about this, go to www.sfbc.com. The Science Fiction Book Club is an awesome deal... hard back books for half price, and dirt-cheap shipping. I've been a member for a long time now, and zero complaints. ~YR
