I like anything, really. I purchased (for like, less than 2 dollars!!) a compilation of books for my ipod touch, so I have like 300 books in my pocket at any given time. I'll just pop it out and start reading when i'm really bored. It's mostly old stuff. Some of the authors included are people like Oscar Wilde, Aristotle, and Edgar Allen Poe. I also have every single Shakespeare play.

i love reading too, we have a lovely (super) used book store by my house where the most expensive books are $5, i've got a bunch of lovely textbooks from the 50's-70's
and i got this biography on jim morrison for $.50....
i mostly dig non-fiction though, but when i read fiction they all seem to be 40's surrealistic "communist" books, like johnny got his gun. or fade...
used book stores are the best.

I have a few compilations of classics on my iPhone. I also LOVE Edgar Allen Poe. They have a Application for Shakespeare on iTunes which I have because I love Shakespeare.

I just finished Ian Kreshaws biography on Hitler, of all people. It was very fascinating. People often ask, "How could the German people have gone along with the Nazis?" and it turns out, or seems to be, that a large portion of the German people really did like Hitler, at least until the setbacks in Russia.
The later chapters are really interesting. Hitler threw a lot of temper tantrums as the war wasn't going his way, and he was losing control over everything. But he wouldn't surrender, he preferred to let Germany be destroyed than surrender. He was a horrible leader for that reason alone.
