I've lately started reading some books by Greg Iles, he's sort of a romance/thriller/mystery writer. Good stuff, thought it may take a few chapters to adjust as he often writes in first person present tense.
I'm much too lazy to put an actual signature here.

Countdown

Anything by Dan Brown. He's by far my favorite author.

Holkeye

We're trying to help him find good stuff. Dan Brown and First Person choose-your-own mystery novels are going to turn him off of reading.

Zylos

Dan Brown is actually one of my favorite authors. Admittedly, the one that got him the fame, the Da Vinci Code, was a little too hyped up due to its controversy, but it's still a good read to me.




Black Breeze

Sophist

You don't type like you can read higher level literature. .-.

If you read books of high quality and of finer literature, you should naturally be integrating the styles and the syntax into your writing. Of course, this is mainly applied to writing that you do for school or some essay, but I don't think that I, personally, would be able to respect myself for typing (because typing is a form of writing) in the manner that you do and still read fine literature; it seems more like a facade.

Stop trying to act smart, Moo.

Most ironic run-on sentence award.

Kokowam

That's just how I usually type. Also, I don't pretend like I read literature or anything. In fact, I tend to avoid it. So it's really not ironic.

What is ironic is that you're correcting me, but the sentence isn't even a run-on sentence at all. There's proper punctuation to separate the independent clauses. It's not a run-on sentence but just that the sentence is wordy.

Someone's in high school english

Holkeye

No, it's a run-on sentence. You should very rarely use more than two commas per sentence, but especially not when you use parenthesis or a semi-colon. The irony part comes from how you corrected someone's typing.

I love semicolons; every time I see one in a sentence I squirm with joy.

Black Breeze

Can we get back to books please?

Holkeye

There are plenty here. Pick one and read it.

Sashikinaroji

Mystic Warrior (and, by exstention, the whole of the Bronze Canticles collection, although I have only read this first installment) by Tracy and Laura Hickman.

It's basically three stories in one and is a book I've read more than once. I love it, hahaha!
Ok, DON'T EXPECT HELP FROM ME~! I will perhaps rant a bit, but don't expect me to do graphics for you, even if I say I will... I won't.
