Hi Monica,
<smiling> My problem is that I like just about anything in fiction.
If I have one complaint, it would be that there is a propondrance of
romances, at least currently on Step One, and there are some incipid
books by incipid authors. However, here is what I like to read:
I'm not much for general fiction as that is usually some family saga or
about somebody who's got divorced and has to make do, or some kind of
real-time gumbus.
historical fiction (preferably not regencies or victorian, unless they
are Georgette Heyer too many people try to duplicate her witty and
always fascinating style)
mysteries with interesting characters and good fast plots
Suspence/spy stuff
Science Fiction especially hard Science Fiction space travel space
military, interesting aliens, no political exploration You can give
Asimov back his Foundation stuff and Herbert his Doon stuff
Westerns within reason
adventure both nonfiction and fiction
Good children's lit always, always, always! What we write for our kids
is what they remember and how they learn. After all, folks, writing is
the extension of the fireside school of the story teller.
Biographies but need those to be chosen by me
Animal books
Fantasy of all types except maybe the vampire stuff, Allison likes
those, though.
The occasional Naval yarn is good.
Classics always, more Straton Porter and Tarkington and stuff like
that, and I wish I could find Our Hearts Were Young And Gay by Skinner.
I suppose we could use some more tomes like the Greek plays and so on.
You did ask, my friend. Can you spell eclectic?
Ann P.
