Personal Tastes
To be honest, I enjoy reading everything. As of recent I have been reading primarily non-fiction works such as My Booky Wook by Russell Brand and Stranger Than Fiction by Chuck Palahniuk. Also, I recently re-read The Asylum For Wayward Victorian Girls by Emilie Autumn, which falls somewhere between fiction and non-fiction. Roughly half the book is a fictitious tale of a Victorian girl who never truly existed, but despite such she was still a hallucination experienced by the author whose experiences in a modern asylum make up the book in its entirety. I also enjoy fiction pieces, I am a huge Laurell K. Hamilton fan and Edgar Allen Poe will always hold a place in my heart. When reading within fiction I tend to stick to more horror pieces and murder mysteries. I don't like being able to guess where the book will take me, but I want to feel compelled to try. I also enjoy poetry. I would have to say William Blake tops that list for me with Robert Frost following. There is very little I won't read if it is put before me. Even if I find I don't particularly enjoy the content, the act of reading itself is soothing enough that I don't mind.
