I share my life with two Siamese cats. All kinds of animals are precious to me. The mystery novel is the main kind of fiction that I enjoy reading. I love to read, period. Though I have yet to find work in the field, I have a Masters of Library Science.
I Am A:
Reader, Writer
Books And Authors I Like:
Some of the authors I enjoy reading are Lilian Jackson Braun, Rita Mae Brown, Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould.
Works that I have enjoyed are Twain's "The War Prayer,"
Dorothy L. Sayers' "Murder Must Advertise," and a science fiction book by A.C. Crispin about Han Solo's youth.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
I don't watch tv now. The boob tube is just for running dvds and tapes. There are older shows that I like such as "Have Gun, Will Travel" and "The Fugitive" with David Janssen. My taste in movies is varied. I prefer older movies such as "All About Eve" and "I am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang." Lately I've been exploring older noir and mystery movies such as "Mystery Street" and "Border Incident."
