I've read just about all his books, and I used to think he was just another popular horror writer, but after careful review, I can admit I was wrong. Dude is prolific and classic.I'm also rereading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I've read it twenty times and it hasn't gotten old. It's like a song I can listen to over and over. The difference between novels and literature is shelf life.</div> Stephen King books are incredable....I'm currently reading 'Wildfire' by Nelson DeMille.

Ever since I saw Hotel Rwanda I've been fascinated with the Rwandan massacres.

I'm as guilty as the next man of not reading much, but I'll say that books are a dying breed, but ebooks might save them
I do enjoy reading books, but I usually go through stages of reading though. I'll read 7 or 8 books in one month and then wont read anything for the next two or three. Just depends I guess. The last book I read was a book by Chuck Palanuick, the writer of Fight Club. It was Choke. I've read almost all of his novels and they are all equally good, but Fight Club is head and shoulders above the rest in my opinion. I do read Rolling Stone every two weeks as well. They really are ultra Liberal over there, but I dont read it for the politics, but rather the music articles that arent on crappy emo sh*t. I think I'm gonna start reading the graphic novel Watchmen in the near future. Its considered one of the best written novels and is by the guy who wrote V for Vendetta.

It's just reading is not a top priority for me I guess, but something I sometimes like to do.

Books will NEVER be a dying breed. When a movie is made from a book...only about 60% gets in the movie....books will never go away. they're just too good...and when yall get older, yall will probably read more.

People read a lot less books these days than they did 20 years ago because the internet has so much more easy to access info. Not saying it's a good thing that books are losing popularity, but they are.
<span style="font-family:Arial">Lately, I have been reading Allen Iverson's book 'Only the Strong Survive' I'm not much of a book reader. I might pick up a good book that has something to do with basketball, but that's all I'll touch. I have a hard time getting interested in any book that doesn't have anything to do with basketball, I can't help it.I do read alot of magazines though, I love them. Slam, Cosmo, Maxim, ect.</span>
You guys should all read the book about the Suns, ":07 Seconds or Less" by Jack McCallum. Really interesting behind the scenes look at an NBA team.
