Re: What does everyone read?

My favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk, who's first book was Fight Club. I obviously picked that one up because of the movie but I've been obsesses with his writing ever since. His books can be philosophical as well as disturbing. It's funny because a lot of his books read almost like 200 page epic poems because he will frequently use the same type of verses over and over. I've heard that his writing has made people vomit and/or pass out during some of his public readings, so there's that.

I also just recently read both "Dexter" books by a guy named Jeff Lindsay. If you've ever seen Dexter on Showtime you know the basic story of the books (a serial killer that works for Miami PD forensics and only murders other killers); the books were a good quick read.

Basically I'm a huge movie guy, so I basically started reading the books that my favorite movies are based on. This isn't always the case, but sometimes it's a good way to start reading a good author.
