Reading? Ahh.. a love of my life. Without that, well.. insomonia could be unbearable at times.
Here's a short list...

• David Eddings
• Robert Jordan - although, I'm wondering a bit if he's ever going to finish the series.
• Ken Follet
• Stephen R. Lawhead
• Douglas Adams - must read .. "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
• Anne Rice
• Caleb Carr - "The Alienist"
• Robert A. Heinlein - "Time Enough for Love", "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Job: A Comedy of Justice" etc.
• Morgan Llywelyn
• C.S. Friedman
• Chiam Potok

There are loads others.. but those are just to name a few.
