not necessary must be books or what ,
simply any materials that you like to read eg. magazines , newspaper/tabloid or "comics" or flyers and posters ........

oh , one more thing .......
are there any books or materials you really wish everybody will somehow found themselves love reading them .......

i read batman comics (detective is the best) and scifi books, mostly by philip k. dick.

Much love for Philip K Dick - I just bought his short stories collected into 5 volumes and 3 of his novels.

And I don't think you can call a post dead if it hasn't been answered after less than 24 hours.

Anything by Ray Bradbury. Mervyn Peakes Ghormenghast-triology. And books by Gene Wolfe, particularly Soldier of the Mist.

Tend to go for the classics. I buy as old an edition of a book I like off of ebay every time I can, and slowly build my collection, and get to read the satisfying way(paper) at the same time. Just got a nice plutarchs lives and essays that's a couple hundred years old, but I'm a little disappointed with the binding, I could tell right away it was cheaply made back then, the good ones you can feel the difference.

Just bought Dante's "The Inferno" and am really loving it. Mostly, I like mystery-type and detective-type novels that make you think like "The Hot Zone", "The Cobra Event", and "The Da Vinci Code"...

Oh! And certain periodicals... but I read them for the articles of course...

Fantasy and science-fiction. I'm currently reading Dragonspell by Katherine Kerr (again) in an attempt to read the Deverry series in the right order this time
