I feel so uneducated. I don't read much. The talking picture box has ruined me.

But I used to like reading:

Eric van Lustbader
James Patterson
Michael Crichton

1) John LeCarre
2) Tom Robbins
3) Richard Dawkins
4) Douglas Adams
5) Lemony Snicket (It is great to read a short, funny, and engaging story between heavy reads.)


I'm surprised that this is the first mention of LeCarre in this thread!
