I am also an avid reader, although the last couple of years I've only managed to read 2-3 books a month. About 75% of my reading are books about history, especially about the American Civil War and the Lewis & Clark Expedition. In my bedroom are two 6' tall bookcases crammed with books about these two subjects.

Michner has always been one of my favorite authors and I've read almost everything he has written. By far though, my favorite is Allan W. Eckert - his "Narratives of America" series which includes "The Frontiersmen","Wilderness Empire", The Conquerors", "The Wilderness War"," Gateway to Empire" and Twilight of Empire" as well as "A Sorrow in Our Hearts" and "Dark and Bloody River" describe the Indian Wars and life in the late 1600's to early 1800's here in the Ohio River Valley as well as the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River drainage. Although most of his books are long (800-1000 pages) they are captivating reading.

I will read anything including the cereal packet at breakfast but I have 2 real favourite books. Lord if the Flies by William Golding and Animal Farm by George Orwell - both books demonstrate how fragile society can be when one character or a group of characters manipulate a situation to their own benefit and the lengths that some will go to in order to achieve power over others.

On Extended Wings - Diane Ackerman. Utterly brilliant recounting of Diane's experiences when learning to fly light aircraft. I have read and re-read it many times. An inspiring book that helps me through any rough patch in my life.

Shogun by James Clavell was an excellent read! The story is very similar to the movie The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise but the character development is way more interesting.

I read that one. A long, but interesting read!
