My taste in books is pretty universal just like my taste in music, I like a little bit of everything, and heres my favourite selection in no particular order. J.R.R. Tolkien - all James Joyce - The artist as a young man, Ulyses, Silvia Plath - all, James Herbert - most all, Stephen King - most all espescially The Stand and It, Agatha Christie - most all, Virginia Wolfe - To the lighthouse, Orlando (which is brill) Michael Marshal Smith - all, he writes futuristic horror/thriller, type stories. Lots of reference books: geology, astronomy, photography, art and art history, 3d modelling/graphics, computing, physics, maths, antique furniture/clothing and a host of cook books and how to build your own house and everything in it.
