My love of reading for sure. She's a retired English teacher.

Lumpy, have you read Brave New World? I read that last month and really enjoyed it.
If you have any good suggestions to pass along I'd enjoy hearing them. You and I have similar opinions on a lot of things so I think I'd probably like the same books as you.

I have read Brave New World and enjoyed it. Lately I've pretty much been on a Fantasy/Sci-Fi kick. I really like Orson Scott Card. Particularly the Alvin Maker books starting with Seventh Son. Enders' Game and the Enders' Shadow series of books are all quite enjoyable. Keep in mind these are somewhat lighter fare than Huxley. Card just put out a book called Empire which centers on a hypothetical civil war between red state and blue state ideologists. One of the main characters espouses a lot of libertarian types of ideas, so I'm thinking you might find it interesting. I recommend anything by Neil Gaiman, particularly American Gods or Neverwhere. I really enjoyed the latest Thomas Harris book Hannibal Rising. I really enjoy historical fiction as well. Aztec and Aztec Summer by Gary Jennings are two that come to mind. I really enjoy Fantasy Fiction that mixes in historical and literary characters. Card does that really well in the Alvin Maker stuff. Anno Dracula by Kim Newman is another book that does that to an interesting effect.
Re: The Pub 1/29 YellowJacket: Wow thanks a lot, Lumpy, I really appreciate it. I'll get those onto my list.
I think my next one is Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. I was told it is very good. Have you read it?
My X was a huge Anne Rice fan. She had a big thing with vampire fantasy and such. I kind of put off reading most of those books after we separated but I think I'll probably start soon.
I also have Robert Heinlein on my list because he is a Sci Fi/Fantasy writer that's very Libertarian in his writing.
I have a ton of books on CD here that belonged to my X. I prefer reading the books but these are good for car trips or when I have some clean-up work to do for my job. I had told her to get all of her stuff and even put it all in one area for her but she left a bunch of it behind. I'm glad now that she did. Do you recommend any of these:
