Yes, it's a lot of books. I read voraciously. These are some of the novels I have liked enough to buy for myself. I read them over and over again, and you will see the influence of their authors in my work.

Other: My appearance here may be somewhat sporadic. I have a virus that resides in my body and occasionally flares up and destroys my blood cells, rendering me incapable of anything but sleep. Hopefully, it won't happen any time soon.
