If you want to be a writer you should read on a regular basis. I've lost count of the number of articles and books I've read that include this advice. Luckily for me I've always loved to read. This year I have made a goal of reading more. No specific numbers attached to the goal (I'm sneaky that way). I'm planning to add more non-fiction, a little poetry, and read some of the classics as well as more of all my favorite genres.
I've read all of Jane Austen's novels, and a few of her shorter pieces. Recently finished a good-sized book of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short stories. In the past I've enjoyed Jules Verne, Louisa May Alcott, John Jakes, Sharon Kay Penman, Michelle Moran, Nora Roberts, Jason Childress, Margaret Mitchell, Louise Baker and numerous playwrights. Expanding horizons is one of my themes for 2011.
Do you have any suggestions? What are your favorites? Don't be shy. I won't bite
