So many junkies have read a lot of books.  The what are you reading now thread is great, however, for me at least I always don't have a pen handy to write down what you all are reading.  So I set this thread up to just post some of your favorite books and authors.  We all know that General Pope Sigler, is Da' Man! But who else is worthy of reading?  I for one like to read now, although it wasn't always the case. I just started reading about a year ago.  Some of the authors that I have read or want to read are:

Isaac Asimov

Stephen King

Larry Niven

Michael Crichton

Christopher Moore

R.A Salvatore - just started reading him and he's good

Kim Stanley Robinson

Oscar Wilde - Portrait of Dorian Gray

Robert Charles Wilson

J.D. Salinger

John Steinbeck 

Ray Bradburry 

David Wellington's Monster Trilogy & his Vampire series are great reads. 

FYI: i discovered the FDO, while trolling through my public library and saw this Big Ol' Eye w/ a Blue Triangle Staring at me screaming for me to pick it up and discover the genius of Scott Sigler, and well you know the rest is history.  

So I would like for this tread to be a running list, not sure how it's going to turn out but lets see.  Please include Title, author, & genre.  If you feel froggy leave a brief synopsis.
