I am an avid reader. As a child, I would hide under my blankets for hours after bedtime devouring book after book with only a flashlight–back then we didn’t have clip-on booklights! Maybe that’s why I had to get glasses at an early age? My taste in reading materials changes all the time, but I tend to go back to, in no particular order, travel narratives, good fiction set during wars, Eastern European authors, nonfiction about pressing eco/environmental issues. I typically have 4 or 5 books I’m reading at once and I flit back and forth among them. I wish I had more time to read. – Ms. Bory
