Yes, yes! Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet. Excellent stuff! Roll on the ground laughing out loud funny.
There's not enough room on the board for a complete listing of what I read, but I also tend to choose books in the Fantasy/SF genres, from the series based on popular media (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc.) to well-known authors like Anne McCaffrey, Terry Brooks, Mercedes Lackey, Isaac Asimov, etc. I've been interested in Native American culture for over 20 years, so I'll at least skim through novels that feature decent NA characters -- I have half a shelf of Tony Hillerman novels, and a friend of mine sent me the first book in a new Native American mystery series for Christmas.
I read an enormous amount of children's and young adult literature, only partly because I can justify it for my job, partly because the writers can tell great stories without all the sexual and graphic violence junk that seems to be required in so much adult fiction these days. :roll:

Aside from that I'm a Robert E. Howard nut.
My favorite Robert E. Howard character is Solomon Kane; his short stories make for interesting reading for middle school-age kids at Halloween....
