I read mostly big historical fiction and fantasy - Michener, Tolkien, Eddings, Lackey, etc. I'm also a Clancy fan. I like becoming invested in a story, a place, and well crafted characters. I like finding that after finishing a book, I actually miss the characters.

I love reading aloud. I read four or five Michener books to my wife, all ten books of the Bellgariad and Mallorean, and LOTR after our daughter was born. It's one of the best memories Erin and I share.

In the last few years my reading slowed down as my arms got shorter. Now that I've gotten my new glasses I'm back to reading. Erin has me reading "Contact" right now.
