0 Guest Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I really need to get back to reading classics... recently only been reading fun fantasies. Lets see, I like Jules Verne, Rick Riordan, Brian Haig is okay, Dan Brockman or something, whoever wrote Davinci's Code (Haven't read that one, reading The Lost Symbol), JRR Tolkien, RA Salvatore. Edgar Allen Poe, I must say, had a very avid vocabulary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
