I love a good mystery. I love going to the library and getting a stack of books. My hubby just doesn't get it, but that's what we always did when I was a kid. I love books and reading. I'm determined our kids will too.

I like Nora Roberts too BarleyChown and Papito, you can't beat a Louis L'Mour book!! I think I have read all books by both of these authors. I love to read in the fall and winter when it is too cold or wet to be outside. Would rather read than watch TV!

I Nora Roberts and I just found out that she lives in western maryland....I couldn't believe it....who knows how close she lives to me??? I couldn't find her actual location on her website, it just said a mountain in western maryland.....I think that's so cool!!
I also love fern michaels....If you have the chance try her....I recommend the Texas Series, followed by the Las Vegas Series, then ending with the Kentucky series....They are all related to each other and are a wonderful series of books....they aren't just mushy romance....take my word for it, they are awesome!!!
I have about 500 plus books....my own little library here in my computer room....I have everything from Robin Cook(who is awesome and writes medical thrillers), Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Sue Grafton, VC Andrews, Jackie Collins, Danielle Steel and John Grisham....plus countless other authors....
I have to read every night or I can't get to sleep and I read super fast...so a book doesn't last me very long....ever since I was a little girl I've been a voracious reader....Dad would take me to the library and I would check out about 10 books...the librarian would always say to me are you really going to read all of those....and you know, I always did!

Iowa, Was the Harry Potter Books any good?? Or more for kids?? They seem soooooooooo big. I got one for my oldest, hoping he'd get into reading a little more, I think it scared him! He looked at the book and he looked like a cartoon charactor that the eyeballs go popping out and the mouth drops to the floor. He was sort of funny, the expression, but sort of sad, he seemed like he would of or wanted to read it, then he opened it and the print wasn't all that big, rather small for such a large book and he just said, when I get to be a better reader, I kinda thought the same thing, and I like to read!!
But what did you think of it?? Just curious!! Weezie

I also love Fern Michaels and I'm like you loz...a voracious reader. I go to the local Goodwill and stores like that and buy up 10 to 20 paperbacks at a time at about .25 to .50 a piece. Also buy books by my favorite authors and then after awhile, I take them all back to a Goodwill so they can sell them again.
When I was in San Francisco last month I got to see Danielle Steele's house....WOW! It is fabulous! It sits on a hill (go figure, in San Francisco) that slopes down toward the bay, so she has wonderful views! I've read all of her books (and seen most of the movies) but the book is always better, whether we're talking Danielle Steel, Louis L'Amour, Steven King, or ayone else....don't you agree??

I agree Glenda, With Stephin King movies, I refused to watch the movies, they never do justice to what you're imagination can come up with and no two are alike! Weezie I did accidently see part of Christine once and was highly disappointed, not because the movie wasnt' good, it's just the books are better.

Harry Potter books are worth the read.i just bought book 5 flight of the pheniox for my neighbir for christmas and then have to read it when shes not about.My nephew is 8& he's read the books too and seemed to like them.It just took him a while to read,but hes got school and plays his playstation too,but when they drive to missouri on weekends looking houses is when he reads it mainly i think.you could always read him a chapter a night when he goes to bed
