I LOVE to read. I own well over six hundred books, and I've read most of them. I especially love true crime (Anne Rule ROCKS), horror (Dean Koontz and Anne Rice are my faves), sci-fi/fantasy (I love Piers Anthony, Isaac Asimov, Raymond Feist, and Anne McCaffrey), poetry (reading Ovid right now, but my favorite poet is Ella Wheeler Wilcox), theology (I'm also reading City of God by Saint Augustine), and I also really love books on a negative utopias, like George Orwell's 1984, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. I'm also currently reading Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the original Middle English, and Four Past Midnight by Stephen King.
I'll read just about anything. And I can NEVER stick to reading just one book, in case you haven't noticed.

I usually will get the New York Time bestseller list and go through the library shelves. If I like a book from that list, I'll read others by the same author. I found Daniel Silva that way - he writes kinda in the style of the Da Vinci Code, where it is fiction with some real history to it

I like to read autobiographies like Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter
by Simone de Beavoir, The Diaries of Anais Nin, Bitter Lemons
by Lawrence Durrell or My Family and Other Animals by his
younger brother and naturalist, Gerald Durrell.
Now I'm reading:
Parallel Universes by Fred Alan Wolf, a physicist who tackles
speculations on time travel written for the layperson and am
totally engrossed in all of Harry Potter which I read under
the covers with a flashlight and a plate of Oreos.
