What are your five favorite books, and why?
I began reading for entertainment when I was around 13 years old. It started with Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Piers Anthony quickly became my favorite author and I've read everything he ever wrote and published. I later became a fan of "true crime" types of reads or those that were much more than fantasy. Harlen Coben, Stuart Wood, and John Patterson filled that niche, among others, and my goal has been to read everything written by them as well. Now that I'm in my middle age, I will read anything that can snag me in the first ten pages. If not, I won't continue.
What do you read for pleasure?
Anything as long as it can capture my interest in the first ten pages. I prefer not to read satanistic horror or porn. My current favorites are the Steven King DRAMAS, not horrors. He's a brilliant dramatic writer.
