The Count of Monte Cristo. Very enjoyable. A good balance between cliche goodness and witty personality.

When I get the time, I read a short story or poem by Edgar Allan Poe. My collection of E.A. Poe books is fairly large (various print editions).

I own a big book called the Portable Poe...
Right now I'm reading The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks. Very cool and pretty well-written. The main character doesn't seem terribly deep, and the villain seems positively archetypal, but we'll see. I'm only a little over a hundred pages in (out of over 500, long books are better value for my dollar and my time imo)
oh, and it's sf, the main characters are humans originally from Earth (well, their ancestors were).
I'm expecting there to be some weird twist though, especially after (sort of, I mean, you won't have any idea what the hell I'm talking about, but still) the weird passage about the destruction message left in the AI (which I originally thought was a typo lol)

Skullduggary Pleasant - Funny, Witty, and made me lol pretty hard. Story revolves around this 12 (?) year old girl and the skeleton detective that's her protector.
Midnighters Series - Time stops at midnight for an hour exact. Story revolves around the midnight zone or blue time, and the people who move in the blue time, along with the various creatures that want them dead.
Merchant of Venice - Shakespeare pwns.

ugh, Merchant of Venice pissed me off more than I can tell. Well written, well yeah, it's Shakespeare, product of it's times, yes I know, but still...
Also, the quote in your sig made me laugh pretty hard.

Only reading it so that I wouldn't have to read Julius Caesar.
Also, Portia is a ****** Bassianio is a gold digger, Antonio is a jerk, and Shylock is just an ***.
Gotta love these characters no?
EDIT: When the heck did we get a filter? =/

Re-reading Gai-Jing for the fifth time, James Clavell is truly a master at keeping my attention.
Last time I read it, I zoomed through it in one night.
It was like the time I read Harry Potter 5-7 in a day.

It seems to come and go as it's whim sways. Sometimes, I can swear as much as I want, and then, just when I least expect it, BAM. My entire sentence is ****ed.
Ontopic: Various books on philosophy and stuff. Non-fiction is boring, but I read it anyway.

Filter is biased. MK can say "****ed" but I can't say "*****"? =/
OT: I'll read anything that's fiction. Or sub-genre of fiction like scifi etc.
The author of the Trickster's Choice books is awesome ;3

Ditto.
I was about 3/4 of the way through Jurassic Park, I had a bit of a Crichton thing going, read The Andromeda Strain previously; but I stopped because I wanted to get to Cuckoo first.
I have Skeleton Crew lined up after The Lost World.
Edit: Damn, thanks for the reminder, I need to buy more Gunslinger books, ran out on The Wasteland last summer.
