     As a reader, I prefer non-fiction. I enjoy authors like David Sedaris, and Dan Savage for their witty and relevant writing styles, additionally, I like Greg Child for his memoirs recounting the time he spent in the Karakorum, and on El Cap. Anyone reading this blog can expect, well, um, responses to English prompts, not all that exciting.
