What kind of books do you read and which author is your favourite?

[Neptune]

I haven’t really read any good fiction as of late (written recently), I think the last Sci-Fi was Deus Ex: Icarus Effect (James Swallow) and last fiction was Der Weltensammler (Ilija Trojanow). I mostly tend to stick to the “classics” simply because there are just way too many that I want to read but never have enough time; I've accumulated quite the backlog.

Favourite writers would be: W. G. Sebald, John Steinbeck, William Faulkner, some of Brecht and Adorno’s writings, among others. It has been a mixture of nonfiction, memoires, and journals for the past couple of years. Recently finished Dirty Wars (Jeremy Scahill), An Astronaut’s Guide to Life on Earth (Chris Hadfield) and currently reading Personal Memoires of Ulysses S. Grant.
