I looove to read. I always have a book that I'm reading and if I go too long without reading, I actually go through withdrawal.
My faves are the classics, and I have to have romance. Yes, I admit it, I like the Twilight saga. I love Jane Austin, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens, and I've recently discovered Elizabeth Gaskell. I have many other favorites but if I listed them all you'd die of boredom.
Did you know that you can read the classics online? Anything that is over 75 years old no longer has a copyright to worry about and can be out there for anyone to read. The website is

I like this because when I go to the library, I'm like a kid in a candy store and I always bring home too many books. Inevitably, I forget to renew them or return them on time and I end up with huge library fines. One of these days I'm going to be arrested because of these fines.
Since you are a fan of mysteries, I read a detective gumshoe type mystery years ago that I really liked and I can't remember the name or the author. I remember that the main character was this overweight detective who ate food straight out of a can while standing over his sink. That's really all I remember of it? Are you familiar with this?
