I read a lot too. That's why sometimes I disappear from FR for awhile. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally I will get involved in a book to the exclusion of everything else.
I am a little embarrassed to tell you that I am currently reading the fourth book of the Twilight series because, on a thread here on FR awhile back which was exploring the "darker" side of these books, I was told "not to be fooled, the Twilight books are from the pit of hell". Yikes! So what does that say about me??? LOL. Sure, they are 'way out there fantasy' and certainly not Michener, but I've been enjoying them for some light reading. Mainly I want to find out what all the young people were obsessing about. Now I know. ;-)
Lori, I thought of you when the news came across about the earthquake last night. It occurred to me you had said you live in that area? Am I correct and did you feel it?
I do not know ANYTHING about the Twilight series, nothing at all. I never ventured much into fantasy or scifi... just a little bit of Dune. Haha. I don’t read much fiction but was enjoying my Fannie Flagg books last year.
Lately, I am reading on military subjects and crime. Sometimes, for escapism, I read mysteries especially Tony Hillerman and anything in that locale.
