I have been an avid reader since I was a child. My mother used to beg and scold me, telling me that I needed to go outside and play and not spend hours on the couch. Yes, I took flashlights to bed so I could read and more than once in my life have I read until dawn. I read a variety of genres, though I have finally moved (mostly) out of the Harlequin Romance phase and am only slightly curious about graphic novels. The latter interest me mostly because I work with teenagers who are very poor readers or even non-readers. I also do not read much science fiction or really explicitly gory writers (Patterson is on my Avoid List at present.) I live in the Western United States. « less
