My favorite books are
The secret teachings of all ages
Isis Unveiled
The kybalion
Brave new world
Tragedy and hope
A world unknown
The passing of a great race
For whom the bell tolls
The count of Monte Christi
Usually I just read factual material but I do so enjoy all genres just as much. I just find learning from actual end hand examination is a more efficient way for me to understand the world we live in, both above and below. Of course, I'm just me \:/

What are your favorite books?

Pretty much anything thought provoking...
Who are your favorite authors?
Glenn Cook, Robert Jordan, Terry Goodkind, robert asprin jody lynn nye (Who I'll group together because the each work on the same series), Jim Butcher, David Eddings, recently N.K Jemisin. And Patrick Rothfus who needs to write the third book in his series before he decides to make a HBO show out of it...

What are your favorite genres?

Mostly Fantasy but it has to be fantasy with adult thought provoking themes or satirically witty. philosophy, psychology and ethics.~ I like to debate...

What genres won't you read?

I'll read pretty much anything as long as it's well written and though provoking. Though books were the authors think they are witty and try to add in irrelevant comments annoy me...

Audiobooks, e-books, "real" physical books ~ which do you read?

I used to be a big fan of only physical books but recently (since a few years ago) I've decided I like electronic books better as I can carry a ton of them with me at once and not have to carry 20lbs of stuff.

What books do you recommend most to others?

Depends....

If you want to laugh and enjoy satire Phule's company and the MYTH I.N.C light novels written by Robert Asprin and Joddy Lynn Nye are pretty funny.

If you want to spend the next few years of your life reading the same series Robert Jordan Wheel of time or Terry Goodkind The Sword of Truth.

Glenn Cook's The Black Company series makes for some very dark more realistic fantasy warfare series. And his Garret P.I. novels are a fantasy noire style.

Jim Butcher's Dresden Novels are another set of fantasy noire esk ones. And David Eddings Belgarid more ancient fantasy type novels are both thought provoking revolving around one character.

Finally, N.K Jemisin's the fifth season series deals with a lot of today's hot topics such as same sex relation ships, parent child relationships and morality using a fantasy environment in a great way.

For Ethics Taking Sides covers a variety of ethical issues well

For Philosophy and Psychology
There a great many good books out there that focus on a broad range of topics. Though in particular I can say that child psychology and philosophy are very interesting.

TIM (about six years), while busily engaged in licking a pot, asked, “Papa, how can we be sure that everything is not a dream?” (p. 1)

How often do you get to read?
Again depends...I get into spurts where I read a lot of books very quickly back to back and it consumes almost all my time. Then I get into phases where I'm just not intrested in what's out to read ATM and don't read for awhile.

How many books do you read in a week, month or year?
Again it depends on what point in a reading spurt I am. When I'm reading a lot per year 40-50 is easily doable maybe 10-20 on years I'm not that interested in what's out.

I love to read! It's one of my all time favorite things to do. :)

What are your favorite books?
There are so many! Off the top of my head I'd say -- Written On The Body, Lincoln In The Bardo, Hardboiled Wonderland and the end of the World, The Apprenticeship of Big Toe P, The Vegetarian, In Search of Lost Time, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Pride & Prejudice, I Stand Here Ironing, The Year of Magical Thinking, Me Talk Pretty One Day, The Brain Dead Megaphone... and so many more!

Who are your favorite authors?
Again, there are many, but the ones who wrote the books listed above are... Jane Austen, Marcel Proust, George Saunders, Oscar Wilde, Haruki Murakami, Jeanette Winterson, Rieko Matsuura, Joan Didion, Tillie Olson, Han Kang, David Sedaris. There are tons of amazing writers out there!

What are your favorite genres?
I read creative non-fiction essays and fiction mostly. My favorite genres are Magical Realism, Cyber Punk and traditional Gothic literature. I also tend to be a big fan of literary classics and slice of life type stuff. With me, the more surreal the better!

What genres won't you read?
Nothing I have a hard line against reading, but I don't really seem to click with science fiction, fantasy or traditional mystery stuff. I just get bored. But I'm not against reading any of those genres. I'm open to finding something I like, I just haven't yet.

Audiobooks, e-books, "real" physical books ~ which do you read?
PHYSICAL BOOKS!

What books do you recommend most to others?
Written On The Body (it's just beautiful, I've re-read it more times than I can count), In Search of Lost Time (it's long, but if you can get through it it'll change the way you read and interact with art FOREVER), I Stand Here Ironing (Tillie Olsen is a master of the written word and not enough people know about it), literally anything by George Saunders (the man is a ding dang genius)

How often do you get to read?
Not nearly as often as I'd like.

How many books do you read in a week, month or year?
No clue. Depends on what my work/home life is doing.
