I was an avid reader at an early age and enjoyed everything from Victorian literature to Ayn Rand. Presently my tastes still vary and I love all the Vampire books by Anne Rice, Wally Lamb's novels, everything by Nelson DeMille, Jodi Picoult, Anita Shreeve, Sue Monk Kidd, Joyce Carol Oates and many others. I think LuAnne Rice is a great story teller and I have recently enjoyed Look At Me, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and Hotel for Gentle Ladies.
