Reading sucks imo :Dturbotoby95Woah, hold on there Skippy, you're simply not allowed to have THAT opinion! >_> Mine is Robert Heinlein.
I noticed this about myself, too. I rarely finish a book i don't really like (unless I have to for class), so almost every book I finish goes on my "books I loved" list.I find that i dont have any books i didnt like because if i dont like them, i stop reading then

It's actually the opposite for me. Now matter how dreadful a book is, I keep on reading until I finish it. This way, when I'm against it in an argument, I have more credibility :P
M.R. James, J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle (not just for Holmes), John Buchan, Rudyard Kipling...I'm probably forgetting someone.
just a few favourites...
John Fante (Ask the Dust)
Cormac McCarthy (Blood Meridian)
JD Salinger (The Catcher in the Rye)
Albert Camus (The Stranger)
Franz Kafka (The Trial)
Haruki Murakami (The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle)

Dune is sitting on my shelf but I never thought of actually reading it, I seem to think that it will be as dry as the Dessert on the front.

Go ahead and read it. Just pay attention, much detail is given in passing.
Shakespeare is the only writer I read for leisure.dodgerblue13What, do you get pleasure out of not being able to read Ye Olde English? Or do you get your kicks out of reading aloud some of the infamous monologues? :P
H.P LovecraftFilm-GuyMuch as I enjoy Lovecraft, I wouldn't put him on a list of my favorite authors because I think he's kind of a terrible writer.
