About Me

rick o.
I started reading in earnest during high school, because of a wonderful English teacher. I basically read the classics. I would buy one Signet Classic after another. My favorite being David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. I stopped serious reading while serving four years in the U.S.Marine Corps. When I got out, I started reading every genre possible. I still like reading all types of novels including sci-fi, historical fiction, non-fiction and lately I like non-fiction that reads like fiction. A example would be 'Destiny of the Republic' by Candice Millard, or 'The Devil in the White City' by Erik Larson. But knowing me, a new genre of writing could get my interest and I'll start reading that. I still read sci-fi, even if I'm hot on a new genre. So my thanks goes out to my teacher for opening my eyes to the likes of Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Fenimore Cooper, Daniel Defoe, and my favorite name, William Makepeace Thackeray.
