Trying to start reading again

Name: Anonymous 2009-12-04 21:58

As a kid, I would read a lot.  For some reason, when I got to high school, I just kinda stopped reading. 

I want to start reading again.  Could you guys suggest some really good books to get me back on track?  I suppose anything will be accepted, just keep in mind my situation and don't post something ridiculously hard to get into.

How about some Vonnegut? Short, funny, not too hard to read.

I recommend:

 Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut

The Dark Tower by Stephen King got me back into reading 2 years ago. It's 7 books long but easy to read.

Cormac Mcharty's Child of God is pretty fun easy read.

Don't read Vonnegut or Stephen King, they're both terrible writers.

Don't put Vonnegut and King in the same category!! They are completely different levels of crap, King being much worse

Urg, why is it that threads like this are always full of classics, navel gazers, and other such stuff that can only be called Literature with a capital L?

Sure it's all good food for the soul but sometimes you just gotta have a big juicy burger of a book to feed your awesome gland.

Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series

David Wong's John Dies at the End

Bruce Campbell's autobiography

Anything written by Terry Pratchett

Steven Brust's Dragaerean series

>>21 Dunces is a piece of shit rip off of Rabelais' "Gargantua and Pantagruel." Rabelais is excellent though.

P.S. I'm a lute player and you cannot buy lute strings in music stores. There are only a handful of places in the country that sell sets, let alone single strings. Once a lute player comes into possession of a good set of strings he will want to take care of them and not whip passers-by.

Don't change these.
