Another Carl Hiassen fan here. He's a good speaker too--came to our town about 2 years ago and did a book signing at the local Barnes & Noble.

I also enjoy pretty much anything by John Irving, and I like many of the classics too: Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, Peter Pan, and Ulysses are some of my faves.

Have any of you read the Lemony Snicket books? The film didn't even come close to the artistry of the books, each a wonderful read. If you can get your hands on the CD version, they're read by Tim Curry--excellent reader.
