PLEASE NOTE: I AM NOW AT OUR NEW ADDRESS IN CALIFORNIA. PLEASE DO NOT SEND ANY BOOKS TO MY OLD ADDRESS IN UTAH. CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MY NEW ADDRESS. THANKS


I have loved reading and books as long as I can remember and I have kept a list of all the books I've read since about 1970. Some of my favorite genres include mystery/thriller, historical fiction and nonfiction, science fiction, horror, classic literature, biographies, etc. I read pretty much everything except maybe romance novels.

My current and many of my past reads are listed at Goodreads.
