Yeah, I heard the Jurassic Park books are a lot better than the movies (not that the movies aren't fun, but not exactly high art there either XD). I really want to read a Michael Crichton book.
I'm currently reading The Accidental by Ali Smith. It's a class assignment but so far I like it very much. It's very postmodern and confusing though, so it's only for people who like that sort of stuff.
My last finished book is Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. I really liked it, it was my first Hemingway and I adore his style!
Some of my favourite authors are Gerald Durrell, Jane Austen, Stephen Fry, Nancy Mitford, Oscar Wilde, Yukio Mishima, Stig Dagerman, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Amélie Nothomb, Diana Wynne Jones, Franz Kafka, ...
Random favourite books are Catch-22, The World According to Garp, Life of Pi, Le Grand Meaulnes, Brideshead Revisited, the Harry Potter series XD, ...
I don't really have favourite genres, I love just about anything. I also read a lot of poetry and sometimes a short story XD.
I'm gonna major in literature, by the way :p.
