Audiobooks...ehh...ah, i have one of those. I think it was titled "black river", but yes I prefer printed over audio. Since I'd rather here myself in my own head as I read instead of someone else. As I get enough of other peoples voices in my head to begin with.

@ Driznit, thanks for your reply. About “Lolita” I had seen two movie adaptations. The one done by Stanley Kubrick in the 50’s and a later one with Jeremy Irons as the main character. I liked the old movie over the new one, so after two movies I want to know the original source.
@Skribulous: Thanks for your recommendation. I read some Hemingway some time ago, but I’m interested in more of his work. I guess for American students is mandatory to know about him, but it’s not the same in my country, so I will try to get more about him.
I’m also open to Japanese autors. I read Mishima’s Confessions of a Mask and I’m interested in The Temple of the Golden Pavilion & Madame de Sade.

The Housing boom and Bust by Thomas Sowell. I tend to read only non-fiction but I might read the 1937 classic Amlamut soon. I finished the Tao te Ching a while back.
Oh and Dumas is great the Count RULES! Gankutsuo reawakened my love for that book.

Though if you want my recommendations, I'd point you in the direction of sci-fi, like Asimov (I, Robot--nothing like the bastardized movie), Douglas Adams (the Hitchhikers' Guide to The Galaxy series, of course), and Gibson (everyone hypes Neuromancer, but I think Mona Liza Overdrive was better. And Idoru was also really good, yet sadly underrated), for examples.
Added to my list of books to be read.

Go oldschool, read Hemingway's work, especially A Farewell to Arms and For Whom The Bell Tolls.Added.

Actually one of the few sci-fi books I've read was...Ender's Game I think, it's rather old.
YES ENDER'S GAME. Orzon Scot Card has also written others with Ender and ones with Bean too.

Considering SF I highly recommend James P. Hogan, his Giants series and the others as well. He's a great hard SF author.
Added.

Sweet! I think my favorite part of the book abridged or otherwise including the anime
was Bennedeto or Andrea exclaiming to Villefort that he was his son that he left for dead.
honestly the sense of overall dread and despair just made some nasty little bugger bein born in my head sayin "This is good."
