        The Buffyverse novels (especially writtened by Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder)
        oh yes, those are good! No one writes Buffy better than Chris and Nancy (ok, with the exception of Joss! LOL).

        My faves include:
        The Harry Potter series
        Lord of the Rings
        Terry Pratchett's Discworld series (Vimes rules!)
        Laurell K. Hamilton's Merry Gentry books
        Star Wars expanded Universe novels
        etc., etc., etc....

        as you can see, I have a tendency to like fantasy/sci-fi.

          Oooo me too.

          I was in love with TA Barron's "Lost Years of Merlin" Series back when I read it in 7th or 8th grade. And even now (I'm in college) I can pick it up and I still love it.

            "Merlin" was pretty good. I found it a bit dry though. What I was surprised to really not like was "The Once and Future King". I finally read that, expecting it to be great and felt really let down. It wasn't good at all, I thought.

                In straight prose (no pictures) I'm a longtime fan of Robert A. Heinlein, especially his Lazarus Long stories. I've read all his books, own most of them, and re-read my favorites periodically.

                In comics/graphic novels, my current favorites are Kurt Busiek's Astro City and The Authority. Busiek is a lifelong comics fan himself and has written for both DC and Marvel (including the Superman:Secret Identity graphic novel); in his series, Astro City is a place where superheroes are fairly commonplace, and some of them bear undeniable similarities to Superman and other DC Universe characters. Great fun, recommended for all. The Authority is a different beast entirely; The Authority are the seven most powerful super-beings on Earth, and are roughly analogous to the Justice League, except that this series is very dark and explores adult themes. (The Superman and Batman analogues are gay, enjoy killing bad guys, and have adopted the reincarnation of the group's former leader.)

                The rest of my reading (other than here and on Usenet) is usually limited to magazines and most often computer-related.

                      I'm not sure if anyone has ever read the book Blindness by Jose Saramago, but if you haven't you should definately pick it up. The book is brilliant. I would also recommend The World According to Garp, and 1984.

                        The Pendragon Series by DJ Machale is sooooo awesome. If anyone likes Harry Potter or that kinda thing I think you would love Pendragon.

                          Looks like I'm out of step with everyone else here. After spending decades devouring classic science fiction, Tom Clancy, loads of nonfiction and just about anything else that caught my eye, I've returned to my roots -- comics. Okay, actually I'm reading graphic novels and trade paperback collections instead of individual issues, but Amazon and my local bookstores are getting rich feeding my latest obsession.

                          And just which comics/GNs/TPBs am I reading? Just about anything involving Superman, Batman and other Justice League members, plus other DC Universe characters. Wildstorm's Stormwatch, The Authority, and related titles. A few Marvel titles. Today UPS delivered "Power Girl" and "Supergirl: Many Happy Returns". I'm currently reading "The Sandman: Preludes And Nocturnes". All of the announced books that deal with Infinite Crisis are on order. Beyond actual comics and their close kin, I'm also reading some of the paperback (non-graphic) novels featuring DC Universe characters -- just finished "JLA: Exterminators".

                          Beyond the comics genre, I'm currently very much into the novels of Vince Flynn and Ted Bell. (Belle's "Hawke" character is sort of a cross between James Bond and Batman.)

                            I am a horror/scifi lover.

                            Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

                            ^_^ I heart Harry Dresden, best wizard ever, better then Potter, in my opinion.

                            Weather Warden Seiries by Rachel Caine

                            Woman of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong

                            And The Hollow Seiries by Kim Harrison.

                                Favorite Books:
                                Supernatural literature is always the best; I'm taking a class in that subject right now. Very interesting and fun to learn

                                Phantom of the Opera, by Gaston Leroux
                                007 series, by Sir Ian Fleming (very easy read on "Casino Royale"! )
                                The Temperance Brennan/Bones collection, by forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs (suspenseful and full of murder! )
