Your kind of book

Tell me, guys. What is your kind of book? What do you prefer to read about? Do like romance, mystery, science fictions, horror, history or what? For me i read almost everything. Except science fiction. When i was little, yeah i read science fiction. But not anymore. But something for sure, i love all John Grisham's book. What about you?

i like action, and some sexy or semi-erotic scenes, there was once a book I read, can't remember the title but there's an Inspector King in it,

basically, it's about this inspector investigating a crime, a criminal organization that deals with call-girls as well, the thing is, they are able to control their call-girls to submit to them, so, some famous "stars" are involved as they are forced to sell their body for sex, for a high price, which the benefits all go to the organization

the key to the control element is that they'll insert a certain device into the female's body, and once activated, the lady will crave for sex so much, she'll practically beg for it, foregoing any other things, which means, if they don't obey the organization, they can set her device to turn her on anytime of the day!

imagine she's walking on the street or doing an interview and they turn it on, it'll make her into a slut begging for sex, almost instantly,

so, that's how they control the girls, and this story revolves around how this inspector king goes deep undercover to catch the criminals,

hehehehhehe read it a couple of years ago, wen i was only 18 or so, peak of puberty so to say, that's why the story is very arousing to read hahahahahhaha

I am a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien....The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and the Unfinished Tales are all some of my favorite books. I also like Anne Rice and books by John Grisham are also a good read. I just started the Shopaholic series and am enjoying it so far.

When it comes to reading, I'll take just about anything--back of cereal boxes, junk mail, billboards. I never read Romance, because all the other genres have enough romance in them. A story needs something else to hold it together, not just two star-crossed lovers. I read non-fiction; mostly memoirs and biographies, but sometimes something catches my eye on the New Arrival shelf at the library. I also read thrillers (I call them serial killer novels), they are written by people like Jeffrey Deaver (The Bone Collector, etc.). But, my fallback genre is fantasy/sci-fi. They are such great ways to escape, they often have these grand themes and explorations of philosophy that they are more than just a good story. Gotta love it!
There's my rant!

Haha! Humpty, thats a funny book you got there. Still got it with you? You shouldn't lose it.

Anyway, among many books i've read, i think a book by Jeffrey Archer is one of the coolest. Called, Honour Amoung Thieves. It's a bit serious and a spy kind of book. But it's a cool thing to read.

I hate bosom heaving books. I read a lot of non-fiction as well as fiction. I like to mix them up because I read to escape, you know. I can't be having too much reality. I read a lot of mystery novels. I have found a great heroine. She is Anita Blake Vampire Hunter. It is written by Laurell K. Hamilton and they are great stories to get lost in.
