Why I'm a Habitual Reader:

My mother was passionate about reading and we all learned to read by age 4 from Mother Goose. My current favorite genres are Light-hearted Mysteries, fantasy and romance. I do enjoy almost any book that I am handed except for horror. I am disabled and spend more hours than I care to admit prone---books take me away to fun places and great people, helping me forget my own not very fun world. The books I read may not be considered great literature but they do the job the auther intended: entertain.

My List of Ten: All

1. Atlas Shrugged
Author: Ayn Rand
This book had great influence on me in High School. I have probably read it a dozen times.

2. Author: Rita Mae Brown
I read all her books and really enjoy those with Sneaky Pie. She is an equestrian also!

3. Author: Lillian Jackson Braun
Can you get anymore lighthearted than this series?

4. Author: Dick Francis
have read and own every one of his books. Fun mysteries set in the racing world. Speaks to my equestrian soul.

5. Author: Elizabeth Peters
Amelia Peabody: what better women's role model, strong and bright. I have read and own all the books in this series.

6. Author: Anne McCaffrey
The world of Pern has helped me escape our world for so long. I revisit it often when I am blue. Thank goodness these books are all in my library.

7. Author: Clive Cussler
Dirk Pitt sweeps me away on adventure and gives instruction at the same time. The NUMA crew is wonderful and allows me to live out my love of the ocean even though I can no longer easily visit it.

8. Author: Arthur Conan Doyle
Sherlock Holmes is still the master.

9. Author: Robert Parker
Spenser, what else can I say?

10. Author: James Michener
I own all of his works. I revisit them from time to time.
