I'm frankly not too lirterate. I like the feel and look of a book, but have little patience to read one. When I was 16 or so, I was given "Tales from Margaritaville", by musician Jimmy Buffett. I still kind of like his characters (I DO enjoy character development. Plots are a weakness for me).

I like those short stories I read in gay porn magazines. Shall I share?

Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
I like it because of Holmes' acutely logical way of reasoning and his emotionally detached manner.

"The Dead" by James Joyce. Actually, I love all of Dubliners, but the final story in the collection holds a special place in my heart.
