I don't read nearly as much as I should or as I used to (that darn TV is rotting my brain!) but when I do I'm kind of eclectic. I worked in a library all through high school and college so I read anything that crossed my path that looked interesting. I like nonfiction a lot more than fiction, because if the fiction doesn't grab me in the first couple pages I lose interest. I stick to authors I know I like for fiction. My favorites are John Irving, Maeve Binchy and Elizabeth Berg. For nonfiction, I read a lot of travel books/travel writing (planning for all the places I want to go one day besides Disney).
