I read the newspaper (local) and all kinds of novels. I enjoy mysteries and books that are just plain fun - mainly fiction - although I did read George Stefanopoulis' book after the Clinton years. Some of my favorite authors are Patricial Cornwell, John Grisham, Barbara Delinsky, Jan Karon (Mitford Series), Lilian Jackson Braun (The Cat Who series), Patricia Gaffney, Belva Plain, Anne Rivers Siddons and Sharyn McCrumb. I got hooked on Sharyn McCrumb's books (setting in Appalachia) one day when I bought The Rosewood Casket on the Bargain Books table at Barnes & Noble.
