Me too, jane. I like to read books.

I've read quite a few Ann Rule True Crime stories recently and am now into a history of the FBI. I've just finished 2 books on the Hell's Angels - one on how they took over the drug trade in Canada and another on how a fellow from Alaska infiltrated the org and helped to reveal how international the org has gone with their "churches" and how he helped to take down the king of Angels in California - not to mention many of the followers throughout the state and country.

I also like to read the Bible and learn to walk that closer walk.
