I too really enjoy Jack London's books, with Call Of The Wild and The Sea Wolf being probably my two favourites. I am also a huge fan of John Steinbeck's writing. East of Eden, Grapes of Wrath, Winter of Our Discontent, Cannery Row etc... Some of the best books I have ever read. Hemmingway, James Joyce, etc etc.. I guess you can say I am a huge fan of the classics.

That said I also can easily get sucked in by a cheesy spy novel. Aalso in our house, because we had kids who grew up in the time period, Harry Potter books are always on the shelf. I like to think I am quite well rounded in my fiction reading, and for non-fiction I really have no specific preference as much as just what catches my fancy at the time. I am reading some biographical stuff on Winston Churchill right now I am enjoying.

My interests are extremely wide and varying so I can always find something to read, and now with a 200km/day commute I have gotten into audio books so I can get in even more reading time! lol!
