My christmas break is comming up and with all the newly aquired free time on my hands I'll be bored out of my mind after several days. So instead of letting my brain rot in front of the tv I thought that this year I would spend my time reading. I like humour, horror and some smut, also any historical fiction. I'm open to suggestions.

If you like reading non-fiction, about what goes on nowadays - I recommend these two -
1) "Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader"
written by Bradley K. Martin
2) "Rogue Regime"
written by Jasper Becker
These two well-written books give an insight about the North Korean Government.
Fiction?
Try all the books written by Clive Cussler (mystery/adventure/drama type). I would suggest you start the books from the first; some of the story lines tend to follow into subsequent novels.
The hero is Dirk Pitt, with his sidekick Al Giordino. These fiction books by Clive Cussler are well-written.

Books by Douglas Adams, Christopher Moore and Joseph Heller will filled the humor need
Books by Cliver Barker, Dean Koontz, Stephen King and Joe Lansdale will fill your Horor quota
Nora Roberts, Janet Dailey and Katheryn Woodwiss will fill the romance historical fiction

Ah Christopher Moore is calling to you!! Humor Horror and Smut are his middle names! Try Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck, his vampire books or A Dirty Job - which is also hilarious. Or for the Christmas season try Lamb - The Gospel According to Christ's Best Friend Biff. You will laugh out loud. Christopher Moore is a wild man, but he is a genius.
----
They're, Their, There - Three Different Words.
Careful or you may wind up in my next novel.

Try any Christopher Moore book. He has a comedic, adult style but with the occasional hint of drama. His best are:
Fluke, or I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings
Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal
Bloodsucking Fiends.

Anything by Nora Roberts or J.D. Robb is good. I like the In Death series by J.D. Robb. If you go there it is best to start at the beginning so you can watch the characters grow.

"A Great And Terrible Beauty" by Libby Bray. Also try anything by Tamora Pierce.

Christopher Moore's You Suck was great
James Patterson's Maximum Ride series is pretty funny too

"The Secret" not only is good you can use it too!
"Atlantis, The antediluvian world" this one is not new but it will take you to a wonderful journey.
