I love anything and everything on the paranormal. That’s my bag.

I’m not much of a story type person. I’m retired, and I have a number of old cars, and I restore them, so I read technical manuals and things of that nature at night.

I like reading military “fact-ion.” I’m a Vince Flynn fan and Brad Thor. It’s “fact-ion” because names are changed, but it’s a lot of what our special forces are doing right now to combat terrorism and things like that.

Right now I’m reading Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith, or J.K. Rowling, because I love her writing. I think my favorite book of all time would probably be her Goblet of Fire from the Harry Potter series.

I read this book … I think the guy’s name was Cabeza de Vaca. He was this explorer that got shipwrecked on the North American continent, and he was lost for like four years with nothing, I mean really nothing. I think that was my favorite real history. It was almost fiction.
