My favorite hobby, besides scrapbooking, is reading. I have loved reading ever since I learned how to read. I love the feeling you get when you are reading a book. That feeling that you get when you are so into the plot and just can’t put it down. I have read several books like that.
My favorite authors:
- Nora Roberts
- Dean Koontz
- Stephenie Meyer
- JK Rowling
- some Stephen King (I think there is only one book I have read. Maybe two)

To Kill a Mockingbird was Harper Lee’s only book.She on the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. The book is an international bestseller and was adapted into a movie in 1962. It starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch and Robert Duvall as Boo Radley.
“But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal – there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, and the ignorant man the equal of any college president. That institution, gentlemen, is a court. It can be the Supreme Court of the United States of the humblest J.P. court in the land, or this honorable court which you serve. Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal.” (Finch defending Tom Robinson)
