Liese had to say...
I read way too much...if that is possible...almost exclusively nonfiction (biographies, memoirs, history-of-science-y stuff) and some literary fiction...with a dash of pulp (chicklit, true crime) but that dash is getting smaller all the time. Too many good nonfiction books on PBS!
