I've loved books since I was like 3 and someone bought me one of the Sesame Street books and read it to me. My plans in the near future are to read the Terry Pratchett novel I got for Xmas, then Hunter S. Thompson's Generation Swine, and possibly Michael Moore's latest book since my roommate has it kicking around.

Oh snap. That reminds me, the roommate also has Fear and Loathing, which I haven't read yet.

Tolkien. Thich Naht Hanh. Penzcak. LaVey. Dante. Cunningham. Maher. All authors I enjoy reading.
I love poetry. Some of my favorite poets that you might know are Robert Frost, Alfred Tennyson, Emily Dickenson, Dylan Thomas, Edgar Alan Poe, and all the Fone-Poem-Poets. Oh and of course Dr. Suesse and Shell Sylverstein!

I don't like to read at all. But, I really enjoy reading biographies of people that I like.

What are some biographies you've read? I read one about Bruce Lee, and loved it. So I've come to the conclusion that I will like any biography I am interested in. I wouldn't recommend the Bruce Lee book unless you like Bruce Lee, or are a martial artist. Books I plan on reading: Biography of Kurt Cobain, and maybe one of Billy Corgan.

Cobain's bio, Heavier than Heaven by Charles Cross, was definitely worth the read. I think a Layne Stayley biography came out in the last couple of years too, but I haven't been able to find it anywhere yet.

My friend let me borrow his _Heavier Than Heaven_ tonight. In turn I'm making him a 2CD Smashing Pumpkins mix.

anton-lavey-church-of-satan? what did you read, and what was it about? Yes, that's the one. Read The Devil's Notebook, it's basically just him ranting on so many subjects he knows so well. It is quite humorous and thoughtful with bits of philosophic wisdom one can only find from such an author. Though I really don't agree with everything he says, it is an interesting read.
