Aldous Huxley > George Orwell.

Sorry, but 1984 is really rather overrated. Huxley presents a world which is actually believable. Ingsoc would destroy itself from within in 50 years. Animal Farm is another story, though completely devoid of subtlety it's an enjoyable book indeed.

I just finished reading "The Private Life Of Chairman Mao" by Dr. Li Zhisui, which was a compelling book indeed. I'm currently trying to get into Boethius' "The Consolations Of Philosophy", but it's tough going. Failing that I also have a couple of Iain M. Banks books knocking around, and it's time I got some culture.

I love to read, I prefer the sci-fi genre mostly though

I enjoy reading but I don't do it enough (in terms of books and such).

I love to read. I read in my spare time for the most part. Even here at work all I do is read. :) Currently reading "The Ghatti's Tale" by Gayle Greeno. It's a great book so far.

I read from time to time, my favourite books are 'The Beach' 'About A Boy' and 'Martin Pig'

And no, I don't like the beach because there's a film about Leonardo DiCaprio based on it, the film is awful

I love reading. I'm a fan of the usual sci-fi fare : China Mieville, Phillip K. Dick, Peter Hamilton, William T. Santiago, Frank T.J Mackey , to name but a few, but I also like classical books, like Dickens, The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald, and the Catcher in the Rye. I'm also into Clive Cussler's adventure novels and anything historical.
