What do you read in English?

It's a real cliché that the best way to learn writing is by reading. Of course English literature begins with Shakespeare and the Bible. But of course, what else you read depends on your taste.

What you want to read depends a lot on what you like, and what you would like to write. For example, I like to read news articles, and history, and about Africa. Professor Carpenter likes to read sports, and so Sports Illustrated is his home page on his computer in his office.

What do you like to read? What would you like to write about? Tell us where you can find information about it on the Internet. Be sure to link to it in your message the way I linked to sources that I like to read above.
