          <body><![CDATA[Speak by Laura Halse Anderson is an amazing book, and there is actually a movie based off of it too with Kristen Stewart. Anderson's use of humor in that book is really great!<br/><br/>I've gone through many phases in my reading but mostly I read lots of YA and adult sci fi and fantasy (particularly Gaiman, de Lint, Bradbury, Pamala Dean, etc.) and right now I'm especially enthralled by the Dresden Files. Then I have what I mentally call my &quot;others&quot; category that includes books like The Life of Pi, The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-time, One big damn puzzler, or random books by Paulo Coelho, Christopher Moore, Tom Robbins, Alan Lightman, and so on. I can't figure a genre more specific for these &quot;others&quot; books than just &quot;literature&quot;...]]></body>
