Have Book, Will .....

Being a partial record of the many books I have read, am now reading, or plan to read. Also, a source of recommendations for those who are at a loss for something good to read.

I admit it. I am a confirmed bookworm. Long before I ever donned the dyed green bookworm costume that my mother created from a sheet (I won a Halloween contest with it), I was addicted to reading. Back then, I would rather find a cozy chair and read than do just about anything. It was, is, and always will be my escape from reality.

I read just about anything I can find, whenever, wherever, whatever. That includes cereal boxes at breakfast, shampoo bottles in the shower, billboards on the freeway, bumper stickers on passing vehicles (sometimes I regret reading those), and of course, books. Lots and lots of books.

Lately I've been focused on more non-fiction books, like The Gift of Fear and Darwin's Black Box. Last summer it was fantasy by Brandon Sanderson (The Mistborn series) and Carol Berg (the Transformation series).

I rarely go anywhere without a book if I think there's even the remotest possibility that I might have some time on my hands.
