When I was in school I used to love the books written by Terry Prachett it. He fuelled your imagination while also making you think.

I'm not very well read when it comes to fiction. I tend to prefer non fiction, facts and figures. I think that's the Asperger's in me. I do a lot of reading about medical issues, true crime, etc. I obsess over a particular topic for a time and read everything possible until my next obsession comes along. When my mum got cancer I read three books written by cancer survivors and I read them in as many days.
