Read or Die (R.O.D.)
I noticed we didn't have a club for bibliophiles, so here it is. For all those bookworms out there show us which books you like to digest. Maybe you have a favourite author or you are searching to further your literary knowledge. Lets write ourselves in as characters of this story.
Note: Valid forms of literacy do not include the works of Stephenie Meyer. (Suggestions for changing the title of the club are welcome and open).

I've got myself into alot of philosophy books, though it takes me twice aslong to read them because I'm constantly re-reading paragraphs to make sense of them :P Aside from that I too like fantasy and sci-fi. My mates called me nerdy for reading the Halo and Mass Effect novels, but they're actually quite good.

Re: Once Upon A Time.. (OUAT)
Favorite books:
Jurassic Park Jurassic Park the Lost World Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror The Trench Meg: Primal Waters(least favorite in this list too much reality TV in it >_<) Meg: Hell's Aquarium The Loch Antarktos Rising White Shark Halo Novels Footprints of Thunder Thunder of Time Kronos I love books where humans are mixing it up with prehistoric creatures. Really not too many of decent quality out there. I suppose it is not a classy taste but it is what I enjoy.

Dan Brown is trash. Last writer to get me properly hooked was Orson Scott Card with Ender's Saga. Very well crafted series.

Re: Once Upon A Time.. (OUAT)
I don't think I've read any "classics" except for Tom Sawyer. Personally my favorite author is Piers Anthony, but that's because I love ridiculous puns and such.
