Right now I'm in the middle of The Taking by Dean Koontz...
makes a very interesting read, really good so far.

Anything by Stephen King, but especially "Misery" or "The stand"

I'm kinda' a lit snob. Right now I'm reading as I Lay dying by William Faulkner and The Life of Pi by Yann Martlel.

funny, i'm in the middle of as i lay dying, but i think i bit off more then i can chew, i bought it in english because i like to read my books the way they were written if i can, but his dialect gives me a headache....
if i may recommend, Gabriel Garcia Marquez - 100 years of solitude or love in the time of cholera....

that it is....i would also say quite magical....this may be a bit blasphemic of me but i liked love in the time of cholera a tad better.....
a question for the english major, does Faulkner always write in the souther "hick" dialect or are his other works more readable?

As far as I know, Yes he does, but that's what's so intrigueing about his work. As I Lay Dying is definitely one of his most, if not the most, readable books. If you want confusion try to sit down and read Absolom Absolom by him

snobbybutts.

anyways, i recommend "The Odyssey" and "The Republic". the republic is hilarious. he makes everyone look like complete jackasses
