Well there is of course the two previously mentioned but my absolute favorite book is actually a young adult sci-fi novel (though it fits into the same catergory as 1984 and Fahrenheit 451) called Unwind.
Plus I'm entirely way too addicted to romance novels (even if they aren't always well written so I love the Carpathian series and The Lords of the Underworld series.
Fantasy wise I am an avid Tamora Pierce fan, she is a phenomenal author and I love her characters.
But again I'm an English major so I love reading Tennyson, Shakespeare, Robert Frost, and I honestly enjoyed reading The Iliad and The Odyssey. Plus The Great Gatbsy is one of my favorite books.
Well it was an Aeriseph, if you were still up for it, but if you're swamped with life, don't feel pressured to rush. I just wanted to see if you were okay ^_^
I think I must agree with you a relatively good taste in literature has t be part of being an English nerd. So you like Fahrenheit 451, what other books do you enjoy?
That's actually an old quote in my signature, I haven't changed it in awhile. But it's there because of an avi I made a while back that I kinda though looked like the embodient of censorship, so I went looking for a quote to match. But I'm definitely the English nerd type who loves a good true quote like that as well. And my favorite books all fall into the catergory of that quote (Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 being notable examples). But I'm not sure if I'm in interesting person, kinda your run of the mill english nerd (if you can be a run of the mill nerd). But I do not think judging a person by a quote can be considered judging a book by it's cover, afterall I chose the quote, I put it there for a reason and you didn't leave the thing just at that. So perhaps you can make an astute judgment.
I guess I'll have to decide when I see it though but I really like the art you gave me so I'll probably pay quite a bit. I don't mind waiting for it though, I'll need to save up gold for the upcoming events. ^^;
