Hoo boy. I read a lot of books. Not surprising I guess, considering that we have a lot of books in the house -- besides all the bookswe read for fun, I have quite a few Japanese dictionaries and grammar books as a result of Japanese language study. Add in technical books and loadsof comics and manga and you're talking quite a lot of printed matter.
English Some links to pages about some authors whose works I've enjoyed: Jane Austen Emma Bull Lindsay Davis Dashiell Hammett John le Carre Sujata Massey Will Shetterly JRR Tolkien Mark Twain Roger Zelazny
I like to read comics in english as well as japanese (although I don't read translated manga since the point for me is Japanese language practice, after all). Here are a few links: Sarah Dyer (action girl) Carla Speed McNeil (finder) Stan Sakai (usagi yojimbo) Elizabeth Watasin (charm school) I also recommend checking out Image Comics, Oni Press, and Slave Labor Graphics. And definitely go read Megatokyo. It's great!
Japanese Mostly I have been reading manga. I am also reading "bokkochan" by HOSHI Shinichi.This is a collection of short science fiction stories that are... odd, yet really compelling. If you can find an English translation of this book, I recommend it.
