			Any good reads except for porn? I liked kite runner, a million little pieces, a thousand splendid suns, dan brown's books, stuff like that if it helps. Not into (auto)biographies or stuff or books about i-love-him-and-he-loves-me-but-lets-use-a-year-to-see-if-we-should-date kind of books.

			Anything by Terry Pratchett. I'd suggest on starting on something like Guards Guards! first and see how you like it from there. The Dune series is a good one as well. 
 Good Omens (by Niel Gaimen and Terry Pratchett) is a great book about the end of the world and how a little boy is to blame.

 7seven:  I really can't stand all these idiots who hit the gym now just because they watched 300 and want to be like a spartan. Case in point, this skinny guy comes into the gym the other day, must have only weighed ~ 140lbs, loads on 2 plates on the bench rack, mutters to himself, for sparta, unracks the barbell and proceeds to drop it directly on his chest.

			Gods Behaving Badly - Marie Phillips.
 
 Easy read, but cool idea; I burned through it in a day and a half.
