I might have to read it in English first just so that I have a clue what's going on. I'm reading David Ortiz's autobiography in Spanish, but that's fun and he doesn't exactly use huge words...
Aside from when he's describing scenery (which he seems to do a lot), I actually like Steinbeck's writing. I didn't like the ending of Of Mice and Men, though.
Gatsby wasn't one of my favorites, but it's one of the best I've had to read for school.
I've only heard good things about it, so I'll definitely read that one sometime!
You know how much I love Harry Potter? When I first read them--when I was in first grade--my mom would pay me a dollar for every book I read that wasn't Harry Potter. I got maybe five dollars from that in a year. I've read every one of the seven books at least three times each, and I can't tell you how many times I've read the first four. It's somewhere probably around 20 each, and I'm not exaggerating...
I'm going to make a post about my favorite books... I haven't read that much lately, due to following baseball absolutely obsessively, but I'm going on lots of vacations soon where I'll be forced to be baseball-free for a few weeks and will need good books.
I've read The Alex Rider series a bunch of times, but not that many! Yes, they're "kid books", but I started the series when I was younger and just kind of got addicted to it. I also love the Artemis Fowl, another "kids series".

Also, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is just about the funniest book ever. It's fantastic. Dune is good, too, for that matter. /sci-fi geek

I'm sure I'd like anything you like, so I'll have to try those books, too!
