   I like the Harry Potter books, but they aren't my favourites...
   Man, I'm a huge reader so I don't know why I can't remember any bloody books I liked.
   
   There was actually one line in a book I got when I was 7 that said something along the lines of "Animals aren't stupid because they can't understand us, we're stupid because we can't understand them."
   It wasn't really a huge line or anything, but it did change my whole perspective of how humans think of themselves. In a big way, that really simple line changed my life.
   
   I'm up to page 47 of the Da Vinci Code. I've been up to page 47 for almost a week now. I'm just not that interested in finishing it. Other people have pretty much wrecked the ending. But I will finish it because I got it for christmas (from Santa) and I have to.
   
   I dunno. I'll re-post in here when I think of some more. Right now I'm really concentrating on writing my own book, so it's less reading and more writing whenever I can.
   
   And I guess I'd seem like a total dick if I didn't put the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I have read them, and they are very very good. Made the movies kind of confusing, and vice versa.

   When I first started school I couldn't read very well until they put me in a special class in third grade. Now I can't stop. Before the internet, when I was working in a factory, I was never without a book. I'd read during my break times, in line at the Dept of Motor Vehicles, at the bank and if I was stuck in traffic. I read to escape from the routine of my life. After I got laid off from the factory, went to college and got my dream job of managing a wilderness park and teaching at the college I pretty much only read during breaks or what I find on the internet. Which can be a long process for a guy who used to spend hours bouncing around an encyclopedia.
   
   My wife is a reader too. So our kids grew up in a house full of movies and books. They will turn their back on TV to dive into a good book.
   
   So I've read thousands of books but there is one author that is my comfort go to when I just want to sit down with an old friend, Robert H. Heinlein. I'll re-read any of his books any time.
   
   My favorites are:
   Time Enough for Love: this one has the notebooks of Lazarus Long and I quote from them all the time. Like: "Eat, Drink, be Merry. Take big bites out of life. Moneration is for monks" or "Always keep your clothes and you weapons where you can find them in the dark"
   
   Number of the Beast: great inter-dimentional/time travel yarn. who wouldn't want a flying car that can visit Dorathy's land of Oz
   
   To Sail Beyond the Sunset: Mama Maureen is one exciting women who happens to raise Lazarus Long
   
   I too like the Lord of the Rings. Read that trilogy about 10 times over the last 40 years. The movies follow the books mostly, or it wouldn't be as good as they are. Wish the same guy would do The Hobbit

   Dave Pelzer: "The Child Called "It"".
   "Taronga", by um.... Victor Kelleher. Really great read. My friend is obsessed with his books, but I've only read the one.
   "Looking For Alibrandi", by a really cool Aussie author.
   Obviously almost anything by Stephen King.
   
   Ah shit, I gotta go. Eek.
