The "Boo" series by Rene Gutteridge ("Boo", "Boo Who", "Boo Hiss", and "Boo Humbug") is hilarious. I also adore the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams.

"Pour Your Heart Into It" by Howard Schultz and "You Must Set Forth At Dawn" by Wole Soyinka are two of my favorite non-fiction reads. "Paris-Underground" by Etta Shiber is a classic, of which I am proud to own a first edition! I also enjoyed "The Silk Road: A New History" by Valerie Hansen.

Besides that, I'll read just about anything by Tony Hillerman, Agatha Christie, C.S. Lewis, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, L.M. Montgomery, or Louisa May Alcott. More recently, I've also started reading G.K. Chesterton.

Right now, though, I'm working my way through "David Copperfield" by Charles Dickens.

P.S. I can't help but include a shameless plug for my own mystery novel, Noah Clue, P.I., of which I am quite proud. :D
