Read, or people will lie to you and you won't know the difference! | Akoniti: "No Duster"

Read, or people will lie to you and you won't know the difference!

I had a graduate professor say that in class one day. Even though I have loved reading since I was a child, this statement has stuck with me. I tell it to MY students.

I read all kinds of things. It depends upon my mood, really. Here are some authors I like.

Ayn Rand (Objectivism) -- Thank you, Neal Boortz! Atlas Shrugged is what our country is going through right this minute!
Dean Koontz
John Ringo (Baen Books)
Travis S. Taylor (Baen Books)
Tom Kratman (Baen Books)
Malcolm Gladwell (nonfiction)
Ted Dekker
Frank Peretti
Harry Turtledove
Robert Buettner

I could talk for DAYS about all the authors I like and why. These are just a few who I return to again and again and look for anything they write...ANYTHING.

A little about me...I believe in individual responsibility and no excuses. I am a Conservative, but the Republicans are making my stomach hurt as much as the Democrats. Socialized medicine will hurt this country. Call your Congressmen and women and tell them so.

Tomorrow...Exercise and Fitness!
