Troubadour
In the realm of fiction I've largely kept to the classics--Moby Dick is my favorite book of all time along with Steinbeck, Hemingway, Orwell, and the like. I like a lot of the semi-fiction stuff like Henry Miller (Black Spring, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, etc), Charles Bukowski, Philip Roth, Henry Rollins and some of that "off the beaten path" sort of stuff.
In the realm of nonfiction I tend to read a lot of stuff that pertains to my field--economics, finance, business, and other stuff most people find boring. I like to pick up the occasional science-oriented book too. I've read most of Hawking's stuff, Three Roads to Quantum Gravity was a cool book, as was A Shortcut Through Time about quantum computers.
Right now I'm trying to find time to finish the Song of Ice and Fire books. I'm falling behind though because I've been reading a lot of other stuff lately and by the time I go to lay down with a pleasure book, my brain can no longer focus.
