Crichton, Tolkien, Peter F. Drucker (business books), I have read and enjoyed a number of Grisham novels over the years but not necessarily dedicated to him (or any other for that matter), Eli Goldratt (The Goal), I have several books on running - both on training, a couple of novels (Once a Runner and Again to Carthage, both by John L. Parker Jr),and others. Several biographies (Mickey Mantle, Lance Armstrong (both of them), Dean Karnazes, "Hot" Rod Hundley, Rick Majerus, Larry H. Miller among others) I understand the shy thing, although once I get to know a person a little then I open up some. Morning person? Never considered myself one. Yet the funny thing is, I prefer running early morning. A lot of that has to do with wanting to make sure I get it done so it doesn't get blown off. My alarm goes off at 4 am. I try to get my run started no later than 5 am. Especially while in marathon training. Those 10+ mile mid week runs can be brutal. Authors I have and enjoy: both fiction and non fiction.

I don't eat read meat. It is nothing having to do with killing animals, I just have never liked it 2. I have a facination with medical stuff. (I am an accountant and can't deal with blood or needles, so working in the medical field isn't a good profession for me.) A few of mine…

I am very shy in a group of people, even though I can speak in front of hundreds! I am a read-a-holic, I have thousands of books in my storage right now, crying out to be read again. Clancy is so absorbed in telling you all the details of the situation, the geography, the politics, that it can be overwhelming, but, and this is important, he writes things that seem so real, even if he uses artistic license to fabricate some of the details between the details. I end up totally immersed in the story, the place and the people. He grows on you. I can relate to most of Jason’s random facts.

She's not really friendly but somehow she converted me, anyway. Now I have a second cat and instead of telling my husband "no dogs!" I've become the one saying "when can we get one?" Last weekend I caught myself being enchanted by one of those silly mop dogs that I used to make fun of. This is one part of growing older that I kinda like (but the pet dander, I could do without.)
