Actually, I love just about anything and everything, although I've never quite developed a fondness for Rap or Hip Hop.

I just loved Sydney Sheldon's novels. I couldn't wait for the next one! Now that he's passed, I guess I'll have to. Stephen King is a favorite (the Dead Zone being my favorite Stephen King book). I enjoy reading Anthony Robbins. Humor and Satire are always fun. Jeff Foxworthy, Christopher Buckely and most of the authors in that genre are great.

Not a book, but Steve Martin is probably one of the most creative writers of the 20th century. Who else could come up with this:

"How many people have cats? Now let me ask you this ... do ya trust 'em? Because I've gotta get a pair of cat handcuffs ... and I gotta get 'em fast. What a drag ... I found out my cat was embezzling from me. You think you know a cat for ten years, he pulls something like this. I found out that while I was away, he would go out to the mailbox, pick up the checks, take 'em down to the bank and cash 'em ... disguised as me. I wouldn't have caught him, but I went out to his house, outside, where he sleeps ... and there was about $3,000 worth of cat toys out there. Any you can't return 'em 'cause they have spit all over them ... "

I love creative people and being around creative people. I think it's great when there's a wonderful show on the radio and traffic keeps me stuck in my car long enough to hear the end. Happiness and happy people who want to bring joy to others are great! I just have such an appreciation for nature and literature and architecture and think it's just amazing that we get to live in a place where all of these things are around us.

I feel very sorry for people who can never see the good in life. There is so much potential in everyone and when people don't realize it or try to take it away from others, it bothers me.

Mean people and people who are always angry are so annoying. I just wish they would chill out and learn to enjoy themselves. So much energy wasted with all of that angst.
