Reading interests include everything with a spine (try not to bend them up) and guilty pleasures in reading recently include the novels of Aleksandar Hemon, Jo Nesbo, Craig Johnson, and Pedro Juan Guiterrez. Favorite 5 all time novels: 1) Hugo, Les Miserables 2) Flaubert, Sentimental Education 3) Fielding, Tom Jones 4) Gaddis, J.R. 5) Gogol, Dead Souls/Mann, Magic Mountain.
My writing interests encompass the odd short story and novels about discovery (not always by the protagonist, either, but sometimes about them). I devour good mysteries and always strive to make words crackle.
