I love to read uplifting fiction with quirky characters, and biographies about people who have done good things, and memoirs with happy endings, and "how-to" books, and books about food, and travel books, and spiritual books, and cookbooks, and books about homes and interior design, and humor books, and marketing books, and the occasional dog book. (Can you tell that I've been waiting my whole life for someone to ask this question?) What about you--what books do you like to read?(less)
