Ah, the wonderful world of reading.. Heh.. Well I started reading alot a few years ago.. It started with Clive Barker, The Books of Blood.. It was so good I just kept reading his books.. I've read all the Books of Blood vol 1-3, Cabal, The Theif of Always, The Great and Secret Show, Everville, Sacrament, The Damnation Game, and Weaveworld.
Now I'm reading Stephen King, The Bachman Books.. So far I cant say I like Stephen King more than Clive Barker.. The thing is Clive Barker can take you on a very detailed adventure through some original and interresting lands.. Clive Barker is hands down my favorite author. I urge you to try reading one of his books. It's hard to put his books into any category.. I would say Fantasy, horror, sci-fi but in all the best sences of them.
You should start reading something like Weaveworld, maybe.. Of course it all depends on how far you wanna take your mind.. Mostly it's great for the lose-of-reality factor that is so good about books.. I think everyone has time to read and should try to go for it whenever they can it's a good break from movies and games..
