I touch on that in the book, too: backs of cereal boxes, ads on the subway, if there are words, I'll read it. When I asked our own Carolyn Haley why she reads, she responded, "I can't not read!" And my all-time favorite mystery author Phil Rickman responded with, "Why do I read? Why do I breathe?" That says it for me. We should ask Carolyn for her favorite auhors, by the way; she has a list that broadened *my* reading horizons. And she recently interviewed a great one; perhaps she'd like to share? In the meantime, I found a book by Frances Fyfield at a library sale this past summer and am reading it now -- quite different, and really excellent.

I think reader and book definitely create something greater than the sum of the parts, particularly with a well-written book that somehow, magically, helps make that happen. And to respond to an earlier message, what do I read? Anything and everything! I just finished a Dean Koontz novel, and before that the Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.... What great stuff!
