Tennessean Abroad wrote:Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde and F. Scott Fitzgerald

Gosh...E.M.! Whenever I read Ernest Hemingway, I feel like making all his novels into stage plays...so vivid!

I have a cat back home named Hemingway because I adore Ernest so much. I have read everything that he has ever written and consider him a modern day hero.

Albert Camus, Jack Kerouac, I'm growing fond of Milan Kundera too.

Just read Cormac McArthy's No Country For Old Men and The Road, really really good.

Love Gabrel Garcia Marquez and Isabel Allende too... Love in the Time of Cholera is one of my favourite all time books, along with The Little Prince.

Though there are days when I love chick lit like the Shopaholic series

I adore Neil Gaiman, and I personally do not see a problem with anybody reading comics at all. At least they're reading.

Heck, I still read comic strips and graphic novels now.

agree, considering that he (neil gaiman) is partially responsible with blurring the lines on the medium for which we rate literature when sandman got the World Fantasy Award (only comic to ever win it [a book award])

the whole comics vs books argument have been made quite pointless (on the side of the book's purists) with the works of academics like umberto eco, specifically the following:
