I am in a Star Trek reading club. I met my husband AT one of the meetings and every guy I've dated except one was from the same dern club.

Help me I'm a hopeless nerd...

And love every dang minute of it!

DJF, we are charter members of the Sci Fi nerd club!!

Im a Missouri Synod Lutheran too!

Maybe I should take a listen to this guy! I've never heard of him before now. Thats why I love PT, always finding new and great stuff to read/listen to.

Im a PT addict, are you lol?

My being a Lutheran is a really interesting story BTW, but I don't want to threadjack so if you're interested in hearing about it, just ask!

Maybe I'll start a thread if enough people want to know

DJF, next time you are shopping for more books, look for "Tales from Lake Wobegon" by Garrison Keilor. Once you start reading it, you won't put it down!!

I'm with Zippy on this one - fiction and Sci-Fi TOGETHER!!!????

Like her - I hate Sci-Fi!!

When you only have 10 choices for a poll, you have to be creative.

I read pretty much anything...Tea bags to tea leaves!!!

I just don't read minds!

If it's printed, it's read!

That's why I don't subscribe to Playboy...too many pictures, not enough print....

I read mysteries - got that from my mom. I particularly love medical thrillers.

I really have a hard time reading the newspaper - isn't that ironic since my degree is Journalism/Public Relations? My newspaper editing classes almost killed me!

I read all the time! My kids have poor writing skills and I'm always telling them that they need to read in order to imptrove their vocabulary, etc. They ignore me

Just last week, I read three books... and am depressed that I don't have a new one to start yet. Two of those books were completely different than my normal book - I normally do mysteries, but somehow wound up reading romance Blame my mom since they were her recommendations!

oohh! Me too! Who are your favorite authors Lori ??- have we already been over this?? I have already read all of Patricia Cornwell, Kathleen Reichs, Jeffery Deaver, Robin Cook...are there other medical thrillers that I would like??? I like LOTS of medical detail, accurate and plenty of suspense plus a good story line. Do not like too much sexual stuff or bad language though - a little OK

Debbie - yes I loved Patricia Cornwell but haven't read anything of hers since one book - I can't remember the name, Black Notice maybe - had such bad language. I got it for mom on tape and she had to quit before she finished, ashame. You know Dr. Bass who has the Body Farm here in Knoxville that her book was about? My brother knows him, he took one of his classes at UT years ago, and he had him sign a new book that he and P. Cornwell colaborated on or she wrote the forward or something like that, anyway. It was to be a birthday present for mom this year but.... he gave it to me instead.

Anyway, I like Jeffery Deaver and Robin Cook too. I haven't read any Kathleen Reichs yet but my mom had just suggested her to me this winter. Some others I like are Michael, Palmer, Tess Gerritsen, James Patterson, Michael Crichton, Tami Hoag. I just looked in my nightstand to see who all I had and I have a bunch of never heard of before authors too. I usually just hit the medical thriller section at the used book store and grab a bunch.
