Hi, I am Mark. I read and write -- which I've come to understand individuals do for different reasons. I write fiction and non-fiction and read both. I find there is often more truth in fiction and have turned more to that. Choices ... I look for contemporary first novels now, and I look at the author photo to decide. First novels are often written in the 1st person, and the author writes about what they know - which is usually some field (occupation) they are, or have been, involved in. Thus I learn about the world, more than just what I see and hear. Reading expands my world and stimulates my mind. It is research for my own writing.
