Huge reader. Every night since I could read I've read in bed. Dean Koontz, Sandra Brown, John Grisham are among my favorites. I can get into fiction but not aliens or fake crimes. Fake porn is the worst as they always get something wrong.

I bought a Kindle when they came out ($259) and upgraded to Paperwhite ($99 w/ trade-in) a few years ago. Rather than having an entire bedroom of shelves and books, I have 1,100 books on one lightweight device, light attached, no page turning.

Favorite books I've read at least twenty times: Watchers by Dean Koontz, Helter Skelter by Vince Bugliosi and a few others that amnesia won't let me remember right now.

I'll read romance but only if explicit sex is included. No bodice rippers, missionary position or chaste kisses. Nothing historical in every genre.

Helter Skelter reminds me that I saw the book and wanted to read it. Mom put it in hiding because "perverted sexual activity" was in the book. Years later I bought a copy and found nothing perverted in my mind. The sex scenes were normal and boring!
