Not even battles...I'm talking these crazy little things called books. I read all kinds of shit....but lately I've been reading the The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha....heavy shit, it's crazy to think it was written so long ago.
That and Steven King's "Gunslinger" series....fucking dope, trippy as fuck but still on some hardcore shoot em up stuff....lots of variety between books too.
..any other literature heads in here?

I did actually like harry potter..not gonna lie...I only read a few of the Unfortunate series of events books....but they were pretty good. I tried to read the first twilight book...but I couldn't finish...to each his own...but it was waaaaaay too watered down for me.
Do you like to read nerdy shit?
Noam Chomsky and shit like that?

Mainly read old shit like Shakesphere and Charles Dickens and stuff with higher vocab. My passion and love is for descriptive mystery/fiction. it blows my mind when you can use words to have a reader taste, smell, hear, or see that exact thing your talking about. Sadly i havent been able to get the latest Steven King book due to shit thats been going on in my personal life but i look forward to reading it soon.

If you're into linguistics at all...Noam Chomsky is on another level.
Kafka for sure is dope.
Chuck Palahniuk is hit or miss....Lullaby was dope..Fight Club..of course...Invisible? Monsters, meh......not bad but not amazing.
If you're into funny intelligent crime humor.....or Florida.....look up Tim Dorsey.
Hammerhead Ranch Motel, Cadillac Beach and a few others...funny shit.
