Are there any you'd like to subscribe to but haven't? - Not in years. 4. Where do you get your reading materials? Online? Bookstore? Library? - Mostly online at Amazon.

'I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings' - Maya Angelou (my favorite) 'The Firm' - John Grisham 'The Carpetbaggers' - Harold Robbins 'Valley of The Dolls' - Jacqueline Susann 'Tar Baby' - Toni Morrison 6.
