I love reading Neil Gaiman, although I've never read any of his graphic novels.

Another favorite is Jim Butcher, he writes a series about a wizard for hire in Chicago. A friend described them as book crack, and I agree! :lol:

Charlaine Harris writes a great series about vampires - completely different than any other kind of vampire novel I've read, and funny! I like her other books so far as well.

Christopher Moore writes some outrageous, fun books! I got hooked with his first, Practical Demonkeeping.

Matt Ruff is another author that really takes a different, quirky approach to a story. I haven't liked all of his books, but I would definitely recommend Fool on the Hill.

Tom Robbins is another favorite, with Jitterbug Perfume topping the list. Some of his books are too trippy to tolerate or follow, but I love the ideas behind them anyway.

There are others I really enjoy too, Tony Hillerman, Michael Chricton, Elmore Leanord, Carl Hiaasen and occasionally Stephen King.

Jim Butcher? Is that the guy who writes the books The Dresden Files TV series is based on?

My youngest cat is half maine coon, don't know what his father is but his mother is a thoroughbred

He's somewhat smaller than a thoroughbred but otherwise he's got all the typical physical and social traits of the breed.

Yep, that's the one! Can't say I was too crazy about the series though. Is it still on? I think I watched the first handful of episodes and gave up.

A friend copied the first two series of Heroes and the first series of Dresden files for me. I only got to see them once on my old computer and then the disc wasn't recognised. I think they may work on the new computer though. :wink:
