Well you just listed two of my faves (Palahniuk and Wolfe) so I've got to check out those others.

And I'll recommend Michael Chabon and Richard Russo (Empire Falls, Nobody's Fool)

I lurve to read, and would look forward to an excuse to do so

If you're screening, my desert island books are White Noise, Lolita, and Confederacy of Dunces.  Recently read Blindness (Saramago), and Downtown Owl (Chuck Klostermann), and I have been plodding my way through Ballad of the Sad Cafe.

I've been going through a ton of Cussler books lately. Being newly unemployed has its' perks!

the wife and i both read lots of books.
(i read faster...but she reads books with more substance  )

Same genres as mentioned...historical fiction is my fave...currently reading Shaara book. also like Pressfield, Cornwell, Wibur Smith, etc.

Also like thrillers but I get burned out on authors that have same character in all their books doing the same things- like Patterson, Sandford, etc.
here's my plot summary of every Alex Cross book-
crazy but deviously smart serial killer captures <children, girlfriend, whoever>
Cross is conflicted wants to get out of police work, plays piano on porch, grandma cooks something and dispenses home-spun wisdom
big chase and shootout with samson in tow, bad guy thwarted, girlfriend either gets back with Cross or dies.
<yawn> 

We just discovered the library here is excellent. It's saving us a ton of money we used to spend at Barnes-Noble!

I'm a voracious reader of a number of genres. Lately I've been on an automotive kick, so I just finished Brock Yates' 'Against Death and Time' and am starting on Mark Donahue's 'Unfair Advantage'. Aside from biographies and histories, I also read some sci-fi & fantasy for fun.

If you'd like constructive criticism and proof reading, I'll check your stuff out. Be forewarned though, that when I proof something, I'm generally pretty critical.

I read when I have freetime. 

I usually read books in one sitting, even if that means pulling all nighters. 

My favorite author is Dick Francis, therefore I prefer mysteries/thrillers.

one sitting?

[DesmoDiva]

Yeah, I'm crazy like that.

I'll sit down and read for 18 hours straight.  It's like I leave this world and enter another realm of existence. 

I polished off Les Miserables in a few days.  Had to stop for naps with that one. 

[El Matador]

one sitting?

Same here. Finished Atlas Shrugged in 22 hours strait. I was so wired at the end it was pretty intense.

I'm a pretty big bibliophile, and am actually writing a book at the moment as well. But nothing that has taken too much shape yet.

Send me your stuff if you want, I have a few hours to kill on flights over the holidays.

Atlas Shrugged is a great read.   

Took me a while to get into it, but glad I did. 

The Fountain Head was much easier to read/understand.

I know. One of my favs. A lot easier bc it doesn't have a 60 FREAKING PAGE LONG speech saying the same shit that you're led to understand in the first 800 pages.

But Ayn Rand is the shit
