I read every book of mythology I could get my hands on in grade school, and in middle school I finally found the fantasy section of our library.
I also love reading about dystopian societies, don't ask why, it's just an obsession of mine.
A lot of classics rank near the top for me as well. They're classic for a reason. :)
Being the nerd that I am (and I say that proudly) I also have a love for graphic novels, manga, and comic books.
I also read some theology and philosophy, though it tends to frustrate me as I can't ever decide who I agree with. But I'd rather be confused then not be curious, so I'll stick with that. :)
Unfortunately, college has stolen my life away, and I don't have as much time for reading anymore. But I still steal a couple moments every day.
I don't own all of the books I've listed, but I have read all the ones I have listed and don't own (except for the ones tagged 'i want')
