My Reading Habits . . .My favorite hobby is to reading and collecting books. I enjoy searching used book stores looking for books I've never read or better copies of my favorite books, especially ones with unique bindings and covers. I read classics, mysteries, biographies, children's books, history, science, Bible study resources, and many others topics as well. My husband and I have traveled over a good part of the U.S. shopping at used books stores for books. He is not a reader, but he loves to let me shop while he works on his computer. Often, I would come home with a trunkful! At one time, I had a library of over 6,000 books in my home! Many of these were children's books on history, science, math, and literature. I opened my library up to local home school moms and organized it by subject area (no Dewey Decimal system here!) and allowed them to check out books for their home schools. I had student helpers who helped me to maintain the system. What fun that was! However, over time, I had to end this library so I gave away and sold off most of the books. (I recently had to pier one end of my house - I wonder if the books had anything to do with it!) I currently have about 2,000 books and growing. Sigh! What can I say? I'm a bookaholic! Once in a while, I sell one or two, but it's so hard! I am usually reading three or four books at a time, as well as magazines in all the bathrooms! When I'm tired and just want to be entertained, I pick up a mystery or light fiction. When I want to immerce myself in a story, I pick up a classic or a fiction book that requires more “thinking.” When I write, I usually have several reference books out as well as piles of nonfiction books related to my topic. I love to read about new topics and expand my knowledge on old ones. Here are some books I am currently reading and some of my all time favorites. If you have a favorite book you'd like to recommend, I'd enjoy hearing from you! What I'm Reading Now . . .NonFiction
