While she always preferred The Hardy Boys to Nancy Drew,
Nancy Knight grew up reading nearly everything she could get her hands on, including a probably unhealthy amount of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, with the obligatory Jane Austen thrown in. She'll still read just about anything you put in front of her, especially the funny or weird. She lives in the city with her books, cat and drum set.
Dave Rosenthal came to
The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is an assistant managing editor and Sunday editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites:
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole;
Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
Comments
Thanks for the shout, Nancy! (And although the deadline is indeed today, should anyone have a story they *really* want to share but can't put it together by the end of the day, simply drop me a line of intent and I will work to give them a bit of an extension.)
