I guess about fifty per cent each. Non-fiction includes the Bible each day, biographies (currently Benjamin Franklin by Isaacson) and books on Anglican and Anglo Catholic history and spirituality. Fiction is by and large spy novels by Alan Furst, Oleg Steinhauer, Daniel Silva and 19th century situated crime novels.

My Ph.D is in literature, so I can't wait to retire and get to read whatever I want, instead of what I teach--the canon. And if I read a good romance, I will no longer have to hide the cover. It's amazing how many snooty literary people hang around airports. I don't dare mention what I do for a living. Outlander is what I am reading now on vacation. She has a wonderful vocabulary and a great sense of humor--two musts for me. Can't wait to join a book club at TV...as long as we don't read Moby Dick.
