A person that reads murder and vampir novels doesn't mean they have a cold or hard heart. I read classics and others as well just prefer murder mysteries. If not reading novels am reading poetry. You know the old saying don't judge a book by its cover? Lets add don't judge a heart by what one reads.

I like to read books that keep me on the edge of my seat. It also has to grab me right off the bat. I haven't found anyone that does a better job of that than Ted Dekker. If you haven't read any of his books, do yourself a favor and check them out. They are very intense and suspenseful. His best are Thr3e and the Circle Trilogy, Black, Red and White. They always have a plot twist at the end, which I really love.
There are a few of the classics I like, but not many. I'd say there are more classics that I hate than that I like. I'm in no way a fan of Hemmingway and Steinbeck. I just can't make it through their books.

Well, in regards to classical stuffs, I have left these back to my old literature classes. I enjoy reading thrillers, horror, fantastic and adventure novels. James Patterson, Sidney Sheldon and John Grisham are amoong my favourite authors. Besides novels, I also like to read non fiction books regarding paranormal stuffs, specially doomsday and apocalyptic matters.

I like to read fantasy novels, depending on the mood. The suspense novels are to be read when you have lot of free time since once they are in our hands we can;t keep it down until we complete it. Or if you are interested in historical events, there are many autobiographies and biographies to be read

It would depend on my mood. But mostly I like to read suspense novels. I like reading the classic ones too.

My problem is finding the time to read. With a 5 year old, a work at home job, a hubby and baby on the way time is short. I like fiction. One of my favorite authors is Anne Rice.
