I'm the patron saint of the denial,
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal.
You can buy those?! I love Dr. WHo! i GODDESS i'M HITTING THE BOOKSTORE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!Originally Posted by Lady Elizabeth
For me, it is the Doctor Who series. Everyone thinks they are weird, but
Shall these bones live?
What is Dr. Who like? I've never read any of them so I'm a little in the dark here.
I am most embarrassed by the fact that I like, and still occasionally read Dragonlance books, especially those by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I read them when I was much younger, but I still do quite enjoy them. There is even a newer trilogy that I'm planning to read when I have some more time.
Most sci-fi and fantasy I don't feel that strange or embarrassed about, but those are just a little too silly, even for me.
I've only see the TV show but if the book is half- as great, I'm getting it. I <3 the doctor!

I think I can top you all. When I need to read something to put me to sleep, or when I need to finish something in an hour, I'll pull out good ol' Nancy Drew. That's right.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
Star Trek: New Frontier by Peter David.
Okay, well pretty much everything by Peter David. The man is Douglas Adams funny.
And Mary Janice Davidson's Betsy, Queen of the Vampires books--Undead and Un-whatever. Yeah, they're romance novels masquerading as supernatural, but they're cute.
I'll have to see if I can find some books by Peter David. I love Douglas Adams, and if he is similar I'm sure to love some of his books also.
My guilty pleasure would have to be all Mary Higgins Clark's books. I absolutely love reading them even though they are approximately all wriitten in the same pattern and her style of writing is not very impressive. But anyway, I really enjoy reading them, when I'm on holiday for example.
Okay, at the moment I am really into Memoirs...the silly romantic ones...like Straight Up and Dirty and The Year of Yes. Also anything by Augusten Burroughs...they are funny and interesting. (My mother when I was 15/16 told me I wasn't allowed to read/see Running With Scissors...but she had the memoir, so I snuck it and read it. It was on top of my bookshelf for a year and she only just found it!)
Roald Dahl - Anything and everything!!! I love his books. I love the fact they seem like harmless childrens stories but have such a dark underlying plot/moral. Also his biography is fantastic.
For me its Jackie Collins and Harry potter. The Jackie Collins thing is my Mums fault. They're so trashy but GOOD! I love all the glamour and escapism.

There are a few titles that I probably wouldn't admit to if I was trying to impress someone at a dinner party.
For instance, I've read a ton of Star Wars novels.
When I was younger, I read a lot of historical romance novels. I loved Kathleen Woodiwiss and Amanda Quick. I can't stand to read romance at all any more. But I still occasionally re-read the Woodiwiss ones. Those are classic.
If I'm pressed, I'll admit that I've read "Gone with the Wind," about 759 times.
