I'm a constant reader and generally lean toward fantasy, sci-fi, westerns and other escapist genre. Right now I'm on a Louie L'amour kick. A friend of my wife heard I enjoy Mr. L'amour's books and gave me a box of, maybe, a hundred novels by him. Right now I'm reading Silver Canyon, but by tomorrow I'll be into another one.

Included in the box were all 17 Sackett Family novels and I'm wading through his singular works right now before I get into the Sackett Family saga. An interesting fact is that Mr. L'amour died before he completed the Sackett's saga, and that was the motivation that got horror fantasy Steven King off his keister to finally finish his Dark Tower series, which I always happily devoured some time back.
