Can anyone ever have too many books? I guess that's a rhetorical question since I love to read and always have.
I went on to read all the Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys and Trixie Belden books I could get my hands on. And of course there were CS Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series. I read so much that in fifth grade I once got in trouble. Sr Mary Jean told me if I read less and studied more I would have gotten an A on my geography test instead of a B+.
Every other week we would go to the library and I'd bring a stack of books home. And, if I finished reading my books before the two weeks was over, I'd start on my dad's. I can remember reading Surgeon Under the Knife, I Am Third, and a bunch of books by Dorothy Fuldheim when I was in junior high. If he couldn't find his books he knew where to look!
These days I've got a number of favorite authors I like to read. My favorites as far as popular fiction goes include James Patterson, Catherine Coulter, Mariah Stewart, Mary Higgins Clark and Janet Evanovich. I've also been reading some oldies, but certainly timeless, books by CS Lewis, Hilaire Belloc and GK Chesterton. I have lots to say about those three that I'll leave what I think to another post.
Who do you like to read? What are your favorites?
