What Do You Read?

[art_cat]

Being an artist and a filmmaker, I read a lot of trade magazines related to these fields. I also get monthly gear catalogs that I read, looking for great deals on new and unusual equipment.

For relaxing I like such reads as Being Peace, and other books by Thich Nhat Hanh. I also still enjoy novels by Vonnegut, Ray Bradbury, and Richard Brautigan. I've never found anything any of these three wrote that I did not enjoy. I have also taken recently to reading Wikipedia!

Fiction: I really enjoyed "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Siebold, and more recently "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy

Auto-Biography: "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt" is great, so is "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggars.

Classics: I always reread Hemmingway (The Sun Also Rises always makes me want to see Spain). When I was a kid I coudn't get enough of Tolkien (I love his creation theory).

I agree with pmcalk's choices (David Sedaris' "Me Talk Pretty One Day" had me laughing out loud) and I agree with her on Davinci..it's an apple for crying out loud. How can it take 20 pages for Langdon to figure that out?
