Everything can be mocked. Mocking it well can be artistry.<br /><br />Artists like T. Pratchett, C. Moore, R. Asprin, &amp; H. Harrison do great jobs at highlighting the absurd.<br /><br />I'm a firm believer that absurdity is a valid argument technique, because sooner or later someone will take any case to the extreme.

I&#39;ve read books for kids (Harry Potter), teens (Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Shipbreaker), and a lot of stuff that is not supposed to be a for a middle aged guy, but I enjoy them and I&#39;m fine with that. I&#39;ve also read a couple of W.E.B. Griffin series. (Brotherhood of War, The Corps). I enjoy books like Hitchhilkers Guide to the Galaxy and stuff by Bill Bryson too. If you can&#39;t tell, I read quite a bit.<br /><br />I can&#39;t say I get into romance or sappy vampire novels much.<br /><br />For work, it is mostly leadership, business, and technology books and articles.

I've read things like Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and some sagas like the Wheel of Time and others. When I was younger, I of course read the Harry Potter series, and still do enjoy some work by Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus).<br /><br />I tend to like fantasy mostly because, since I live in the real world, I like to get away from it. This shows in my video game choices as well.<br /><br />This said, I also enjoy History. Especially ancient history. Mythologies intrigue me, as do the mystery shrouded in many cultures. Most history after the 1800's, while perhaps a bit more relevant, do not interest me as much, for whatever reason.

Hands down. The Baldur's Gate novels, and just the Forgotten Realms novels in general are my go-to when I want to read. I also really liked The Child Thief by Brom.

I'm not usually a Sci-Fi/Fantasy person, but I've enjoyed the Song of Ice and Fire series so far. There are a lot of the "classics" that I have really enjoyed reading that don't really have a set genre (Vonnegut, Hemmingway, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, etc.). Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Gillian Flynn have been fun reads that don't require a ton of thought to enjoy. <br /><br />Recently I've been on a bit of a biography/non-fiction kick. "Devil in the White City" was pretty good. I also liked the Jon Krakaur book on Pat Tillman: "Where Men Win Glory."
