Have been known to peruse a couple of Dick Francises in my time. I love SF, Fantasy, whodunnits and pop science, amongst others. My tastes are more eclectic that they used to be but I refuse to push on with a book just because it's meant to be a classic and somehow worthy. Life's just tooooo short!Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686754906089902443.post-83218462777856859972010-12-17T10:04:23.459-05:002010-12-17T10:04:23.459-05:00I still indulge in Maeve but I'm done with Nor...I still indulge in Maeve but I'm done with Nora.
