You Vs. Your SO: Bookworms
Do you guys have favorite authors? He loves Steinbeck and Vonnegut (I felt literarily dumb when I met him and I'm pretty well-read!) and I like Joan Didion and Richard Yates.

If you're not book nerds, who are your favorite actors?

I love reading, although I don't get to read that much, because I'm so busy. But my favorite author is Ellen Hopkins. She's amazing.

My favorite actors are Will Smith and Seth Rogen.=]

Bret Easton Ellis and Orson Scott Card are two of my favorites, mainly because they've written some of my favorite books :) Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris are definite favorites as well. I mean, David Sedaris... how can you not love him!

I am a book reading nerd, I love Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert, Marion Zimmer-Bradley. I read a lot of science fiction/fantasy novels. I also like some of the classics I read in college.

Vonnegut and Steinback? Awesome choices!
He's not too fond of reading, although I have lent him the Hunger Games, and that's hardly a classic...
I'm the bookworm, I guess. (:

We got each other our favorites for Christmas! I got him Blue Like Jazz and he bought me a Terry Goodkind book.
Michael Crichton is definitely one of my faves. He reads more fantasy books than I do.

We read the same things. Though, she does end up recommending books to me more often.

We basically read the same things... except he'll never read a romance novel and I'll pick up a few (as long as their historical, not predictable, and not overly graphic). But both of us agree that Ted Dekker is our favorite.

Sometimes we'll read the same things, but not that often. And that's usually a good thing, so we're not fighting over the same book. It was always frustrating when the new harry potter would come out or something.

I love all sorts of books, but my fave is Jane Austen. :)

I do not know authors but he prefers Science-Fiction/Fantasy novels and I prefer books that deal with psychology and real life dramatic events. (:

I love Ted Dekker. He's amazing. I love his trilogy Black, Red, and White. AMAZING. Never wanted to put them down. I also love the book he co-wrote with a guy named Frank Peretti, I think his name was. It was called House. It was really good as well. =) I encourage everyone to read it.
