I read a lot...always have...probably why I became an English literature and composition teacher. If my day is hectic and time is short, I still read before going to sleep at night...love it! All great writers mentioned and so many more out there. Reading actually improves writing...so many unique styles, such as your own. Don't underestimate your own writing...you have a style all of your own and so many of us enjoy it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13606590257093666709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-5711401645964670952014-09-08T09:39:03.936-05:002014-09-08T09:39:03.936-05:00Thoreau's words always resonate with me.

Until that time I had read only business and work related books and manuals. As a kid I liked Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and I liked 'The Black Stallion', most of my book reports in school were BS knowing my teacher would not read them. HA did get caught once.<br />Now I know what I like, I have read several suggested classics but I am more on the simple line. Louis Lamore, Tom Clancy, Patterson etc. I do like most everything Grisham has written.I now have read over a thousand books. I am too enjoying, but not to the depth you are. Good on you!,jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.com
