I've read Tolkiens Silmarillian several times, as well as Stephan Donaldsons Thomas Covenant chronicles (1st, 2nd and the 1st book in the last chronicles, eagerly awaiting the second book out this year) and Anne Macaffreys Dragonflight.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Definitely with you on that one my copies of the 1st & 2nd chronicles are distinctly dog-eared now & I too am eagerly awaiting the 2nd in the new series...

Incidentally, as one Covenant officianado to another...

Another couple of books I find myself re-reading time & again:

Clive Barker - Weaveworld

John Steinbeck - The Grapes Of Wrath

Jon Lord 1941 - 2012

Well, i read Lord of the rings now and again, and then there is this one book i just keep under my pillow like a bible and re-read certain pages from now and again, i just love it.
the book in question is "Norwegian Wood" By Haruki Murakami.
I have also read another book by Haruki Murakami, "Kafka on the shore", but it didn't grab me like Norwegian Wood did.
I can definitely recommend him for fans of Wong kar-wai (the film director), as their works tend to have certain similarities.

(oh, and if anyone has read Norwegian wood, do say so, i'ts always good to know you have allies, haha..)

Michael Moorcock's the eternal champion series (Elric, Erekose, Hawkmoon etc). I read them as often as i can, good sci fi-fantasy stuff.
 
Probably read the phone book or yellow pages more thoughWink
