John Mosier weighs in with his reading list on the blog Writers Read, an eclectic, wide-ranging list that includes Hans Christian Anderson, Joseph Conrad, and books on Peter the Great, Richard Wagner, Burma, and the Riviera. "Putting myself at risk of being accused of boasting, I must say that I’ve always been both a voracious reader, and a very fast one, at least in English. Either as a result, or because I have a short attention span, I’ve always been involved in a dozen or so books at the same time. Nor is there any particular logic to my choice. The appearance of ebooks and readers has only worsened an already bad habit, since I can carry around a hundred or so at once. So, simply to give a feeble attempt at organization, I’ve categorized what I’m reading."
