I only read fantasy generally, unless it's some wierd factual thing that actually exists and is remotely interesting. But usually fantasy, and quite literally hundreds of books a year.

I used to read ASIOF, but then I quickly found out that most of the fans have been converted to diehard royalists with no brains and less point.

Now I'm reading Mission: Earth.

The fight scene at the end of the second volume was just... awesome.

And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat." (Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio)

I tend to enjoy some mystery novels. Every book needs an interesting plot, and mystery books seem to have them. I also like those books where the characters somehow interact with key people of their time era. And who doesn't like Tom Clancey books? I just remembered that I recently read The Dead Zone by Steven King...it was alright..

The Dead Zone Kicks Ass. That should be the full title, because of how awesome it is. I never read it though.

I'd love to read more, but I only have the motivation to read when I randomly recieve books as a gift. THEN I read. I just don't have the impulse to go out and buy books.

Umm well I was busy when I posted, so I didn't go into detail. Yeah, he's a touch psychic. In the book, nobody believes him when he says that this one candidate will bring doom to the world, and so Johnny shoots at him, misses, and gets shot. Oops, ruined it.
In the show, however, the main differentiating factor is his physical therapy guy. That's how they made the excuse to add to the plot. It was of course at the approval of Stephen King. I saw an episode of what it would have been like without the helper dude, and they basically just showed the book's ending chapters. Good show.
