I have read some US Lit. Eric, just not a lot, and prefer to read proper English (Studied Robert Frost for O-level for example)

I have also read the books of Laurie R. King mainly because they complete one of my own literary fantasies. Mary Russell, the protagonist wins Sherlock Holmes heart! How i envy her

Ms. King writes very well indeed
