Q: What is your favorite book?

A: Reading is FUNdamental, if you don't love books you should and if you do then you can't have just one favorite. I am a James Patterson fan, the first book of his I read was Cat and Mouse. I have been hooked ever since. Another author I like is Sista Souljah, she is good for inner city kids because her books are ghetto fabulous grabbing their interest but have real messages on life that help you understand why it's important to want more for yourself.

Other GREAT books:

My sister's keeper, Jodi Picoult

The Shack, William Young

Eva's Man, Gayl Jones
