Reading Materials

Most of the time I read Science Fiction and Fantasy novels. I have been reading SF for as far back as I can remember with Fantasy a close second. Considering the thousands of books I have read and reread over the years I have avoided picking out a "favorite" author or book. There are some I continue to read as old friends but I am always willing to pick up something new and give it a try. That is the only way I know to find new favorites.

Mystery Links

I also read mysteries. There are not very many writers I search for these days, I tend to prefer the older writers. The bad part of that of course is they have a hard time adding to their body of work once they are dead. A couple of general interest sites for mystery readers are The Mysterious Home Page and MysteryNet.com: The Online Mystery Network: The place for everything mystery. Again, some specific reviews and links for buying are here.

• Ed McBain and his 87TH Precinct novels.
