It's Official... I'm a reader

I have official dubbed and knighted myself as a reader.  This may come as a shock to many of you for various reasons.  Some may think that everyone reads...Some may think that I never read.  And if you think the latter then you would be correct.  It's sad to admit but until sometime after college I had never read any book that wasn't assinged reading.  The few books I read in high school (Mr & Mrs. Bo Jo Jones, Where the Red Fern Grows, etc) were good books and I remember a lot about them but still all were assigned reading.
The first book I remember reading with joy and excitement was The Client by John Grisham.  I remember thinking wow, these people that read know what they're doing.
But frankly it still took a lot to WOW me and make me want to read something.

During the last 13 years I have read most of the Left Behind Series and most of the John Grisham books.  I stopped with JG when I was sorely disappointed in The Painted House...but that's another story

Anyway, last summer and this summer I have read every spare minute I can.  It almost upsets me when I finish a book and don't have another one ready to go.  But I just finished some really good books, so I thought maybe I'd share them with you.   In case you want something good to read.
