I guess even if I can't concentrate enough to read a book, I can comment on books I've read....I always enjoy Tom Robbins because he takes me out of my mid-bible belt Okie life to places that I would go if I could. Ayn Rand!!!!! Read here when I was very young.........and I lived on a ranch and had never even thought of life as she wrote about it!! Fabulous! Anne Tyler for family stuff.......Annie Proulx is so good.........AND I will "secretly" confess to reading every true crime book that I can get my little mitts on. I know more about Ted Bundy than anyone else on my block!!! Probably more than anyone else in Oklahoma....I do tend to look at people more suspiciously than I did before I started reading about real crime. It's a little different than Clouseau..(sp?)And you know my taste in poets. John Irving really used to tickle me. But then he got weird for me. But I loved "Method Man" and others of that time period. "Garp" and "Hotel New Hampshire" were fabulous. Last but not LEAST is "Confederancy of Dunces"........PLEASE let it be made into a movie and let us Babblers pick the cast!!!!
