Guilty pleasure books

i tore through that golden compass trilogy in about a week.
and the cute, yet self-indulgent eat,pray,love in three days.

'Lord Of The Rings'.

Adam Hall's 'Quiller' spy thrillers.

FearTheReaper's 'Asshole Fuckface Roundup'.

All those books by Anne McCaffrey. Telepaths and Dragonriders - and the fact that I found those books right in the middle of puberty made it all really exciting.

Agreed!

As for my guilty pleasure, I'm going with "Private Parts" by Howard Stern.

*hangs head*

*leaves*

*locks door behind him*

noone gives me shit for reading anything.
its a guilty pleasure because i feel guilty reading it.
because i have work to do, and emails to answer
and a manual to write and languages to learn
and sacred texts to study, and a girl to attend to.
and instead, i sit on the couch all day and all night,
reading the story of a cute little girl and her magical soul ferret,
as written by a man who is so angry at god and religion that he comes off as childish.

she was a very cute little girl though.

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books. Sheerly comedic violence, innuendo, and a little crime mystery thrown in as an after though.

any of those mystery/crime books (ala john grisham) you can by in the grocery store checkout line.

GossipGirl and the Twilight books.
I'm a terrible person.

Dr. Seuss.

Jonathan Kellerman's Alex Delaware novels.
Pure cheese, but I think I've read every one.

A big guilty pleasure of mine is comics. I love to go and buy a couple collected editions and waste an entire night reading them. Anything Batman related, Neil Gaiman related, Frank Miller related, or spider-man related.

Yes, in case you were wondering, I am a nerd.

I don't really have any...unless you count the Weird NJ books.

Not enough time in the day.

There's too many really good books. In any genre.

I'm a sucker for true crime books, although recently that's been supplanted by me going on a James Ellroy bender.

I don't know if those count as "guilty pleasures", but I sometimes feel like I should feel guilty for not being offended by them or something.

My guilty pleasure books are children's books:

The Artemis Fowl series.

Selma Lagerlöf's Nils books.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince[/]

The Wind In the Willows

And other children's books I'm way too embarrassed to mention.

Anne Rice's Beauty Trilogy. Most people's first foray into BDSM and gay erotica.

+1...I always end up rushing out and buying the newest, and then regretting not taking my time because I have a LONG wait until the next one.

The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. It's nice to read something written by another geek.

haha, i was a huge anne mccaffrey junkie in my early teens. i even checked out books a second time from the library if i ran out of stuff to read.

Golden Compass is a guilty pleasure of mine too.
Also the Dan Brown books before The Da Vinci Code got all popular.

I don't consider those books guilty pleasures, I love them!

Rice's Vampire chronicles made me feel a bit like a nerd, one of those obsessed with vampirism people. lol. Same with LOTR, oh well. =) books are good.

YES! I know I already piggybacked on someone else, but these too. I am super bummed that my first one in the hardback box set has come up missing, but I got them when I was 19 and re-read them occassionally even now. Sooo good.
