When it comes to classic literature, I really love To Kill A Mockingbird and Cry, The Beloved Country.
For science fiction/genre writing, I love Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
For graphic novels, I love The Complete Maus, The Watchmen, Blankets, and Black Hole.

Hey I read The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. I liked that book, it was interesting. I also enjoyed Life Amongst the Modocs: an Unwritten History by Joaquin Miller, it was beautiful

Is there a particular genre that you like best?
My all time favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird!

I liked The Stand by Stephen King. It was over 1100 pages long and I read it like four hours a day until I was finished. I’m a pretty slow reader if I want to absorb everything.

My favorite is The Catcher in the Rye, followed closely by Flowers for Algernon, then Of Mice and Men. For poetry, the complete works of Dylan Thomas, and of Emily Dickinson.
I don’t really read anymore, but when I did I liked classic novels and poetry.

Hard to say. I think I remember not being able to put Magician down, back in my teenage years. It’s a very popular fantasy book. I don’t read a great deal anymore.

I liked Robin Hood. I must have read it 40 times. Pinocchio was pretty cool. “Lord of the Flies” was good but a little scary. I read “The Hunger Games” for a class I was taking. When Rue was killed a little tear ran down my cheek. That’s the only time I’ve cried as an adult, I guess I was just really into it and it caught me at a vulnerable time.
