* Books: Asking a librarian to choose his favorite book is like asking a parent to choose their favorite child. My rule of thumb is that I will give any book 50 pages to get my attention. So, instead I will give you my 5 top authors 1. Jonathan Kellerman (Alex Delaware series) 2. Robert B. Parker (Spenser & Jesse Stone) 3. Bernard Cornwell (Sharpe series), John Sanford (Lucas Davenport series) 5. Patrick O'Brien (Aubrey Series).

* Foods: Too many. Since I was 6, I have had cheese burgers on a grill, my Mom's potato salad, and chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for my birthday, so I guess that would count as my favorite.
* Sports Teams: Anyone playing against the Yankees.
* Quotes: "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read."- Groucho Marx
"You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you." - Walt Disney
