What are your three favorite books, and why?
I enjoy books that delve into the human tragedy and how people can overcome them. Robert Kennedy's speech which said that "Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance" is best displayed in literature.
That is the spirit of so many great books. I appreciate the Book Thief by Markus Zusak, All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, and the Things They Carried by Tim O'brien.
What do you read for pleasure?
I read sci-fi, fantasy, history, and mysteries for the most part. I do read selective muscle fiction short stories too.
