I haven’t read the Harry Potter books yet, we have the whole collection, I’m just waiting for my boys to get a little bigger so we can read them together.

My absolute favourite books are:

The Human Factor by Graham Greene
The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
The Welsh Girl by Peter Ho Davies

and I’ve just ready Rebecca and Jamaica Inn by Daphne Du Murier which were both amazing.

I’m a huge fan of fictional works. While I read plenty of business books for career insight, I’ve got a passion for both modern and classic literature and I make it a point to alternate between the two in order to keep my horizons broadened (for example, after reading “Choke” or “American Psycho,” I’ll read “Animal Farm” or “The Picture of Dorian Gray”).

As far as favorites go, I’d probably throw a few out there:
-”Gates of Fire” by Steven Pressfield (all-time favorite)
-”1984″ by George Orwell (probably the “best” I’ve read in my opinion)
-”Fight Club” by Chuck Palahniuk (though others of his would probably be considered better)
-”The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde

I also read far too many comic books. Guess I’m just a sucker for good fiction.
