I have an eclectic taste in literature and enjoy good books in nearly every genre. There's no one genre that I find more fascinating than another. I just appreciate creative, non-pretentious authors who produce interesting and original writing.
I especially enjoy books that include humor and wordplay. Some of my favorite authors include JRR Tolkien, Stephen King, John Steinbeck, Orson Scott Card, Jean Craighead George and Timothy Egan. See what I mean by eclectic. The genre is unimportant. The writing is essential.
Peter Pan Rewrite
— feeling haha 
I enjoy reading classic novel remakes. Some of my favorites include Bored of the Rings, The Legend of Decimus Croome: A Halloween Carol & Peter & the Starcatchers.
I was a huge fan of Dave Barry's weekly newspaper articles and often read them aloud to my sixth grade students. When Peter and the Starcatchers was published, I read excerpts from it also. Dave Barry's humor was apparent throughout the novel.
