Anything that has major characters that build up a great relationship. Just anything that has a great story I can keep on reading and research more. Nothing too long and nothing that keeps on talking about the same thing over and over again. I like a variety of books from Sci-Fi, Romances, Fiction, Non-Fiction, you name it.

Books like (The Importance of Ernest) and (A River Runs Through It). Also watch the movies for these two.

I really liked Kurt Vonneut Jr's book Hocus Pocus.

Mr. Vonnegut is well know as one of the best American authors of the twentieth century. He has a wonderful sense of humor and bring a great sense of humanity to all of his writing.

Hocus Pocus is my favorite because I think is collects all thing Vonnegut - his humor, his politics, his great characters, and his humanity.

Also Try:

Timequake
Breakfast of Champions
