Literature.

Was wondering what some of your guys' favorite books are? Favorite authors, genres? Series? What have you read, are reading and whatnot?

Currently I'm reading this:

Got past the poem section and am finally starting up on the stories! I have to say, he was certainly a great poet but I'm more curious of his short stories(the "classics" in particular, such as The Fall of the House of Usher and whatnot). I actually finished the poems and some of the stories years ago but never continued as it was too hard for me to do almost anything at the time. Now, I am going to see it through!

I've read several of Poe's stories, I remember liking Masque of the Red Death. Murders in the Rue Morgue was great until the end, what ends up being the culprit was just really disappointing and plain silly.

Most of what I read is historical fiction, I especially love I.J. Parker's novels set in Medieval Japan. I enjoy some of the Star Wars novels too, finished The New Jedi Order: Dark Tide fairly recently.

That reminds me, I love The Invisible Man, probably one of my favorite books I've read. I've been meaning to read War of the Worlds, haven't gotten around to it yet though.

These were some others I started several years ago, before that Poe book even:

as well as The Wheel of Time series(made it to book 4) and some book by Brandon Sanderson. Struggled to read at all really because of my recent "trauma" or whatever you would call it w/ psychedelics, at the time. To this day my mind is still a bit fucked up but I'm managing. I hope to complete all the books I started and so much more! As if it's not obvious by now my favorite genres are science-fiction, horror and fantasy. May look into others too! Oh yeah and I read 2 Odd Thomas books! Those were really good!

The Island of Dr Moreau is excellent, one of his best
