Having been an avid reading since I was in 5th grade, and I've read a lot of books through the years. This page links to pages dedicated to the specific kinds of books I enjoy or have found helpful and useful in my life. I also talk about other books I'm currently reading or have read on my weblogs - scratchings and healing prayer.

Growing up in Australia meant I was introduced early to all sorts of wonderful children's books by authors such as May Gibbs, Norman Lindsay, Dorothy Wall, Ethel Turner, as well as many others.

.: fiction

Favourite fiction authors include Agatha Christie, Alistair MacLean, and Dick Francis, among others. As you may tell I enjoy a good mystery novel. I find them especially good to read when I travel or am on holidays. During my years in India with the many hours and days spent on the trains there I read many many Agatha Christie novels... it would have been pretty deadly without them.

Star Trek Voyager is one of my most favourite series that's been on TV. I've been a Star Trek fan since way back. I also enjoy reading some of the Star Trek novels that have been written about adventures that weren't covered in the series. Here's a link if you'd like to search for them at Amazon
