Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
I don't remember the very first story I ever read, because I've been reading ever since I learned how. I DO remember the first book that had a real impact on me, though. That was "A Night to Remember" (Water Lord). It was an account of the sinking of the Titanic. I couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 when I read it. I remember a lot of sleepless nights worrying about how it must have felt being trapped on that sinking ship and lots of thoughts about death and dying. Another book I read around the same age, with the same effect, was "The Diary of Anne Frank."
What do you read for pleasure?
Depends on my mood at the time. I love historical fiction, sweeping sagas, horror/thriller, fantasy, magical reality, and quirky novels like Wally Lamb's "She's Come Undone."
