About Mike Perkins's Reading & Writing

I read an eclectic selection of at least four or five books at a time. Some of my favorite books have been A Suitable Boy (which was exquisite and I believe also a first novel for the author), and I also loved the Raj Quartet by Paul Scott. Books like that you never want to end. But, I also love Faulkner, Hemingway, and Asimov. I have had around 40 poems published, and some prose. I did a first novel which is a train wreck. Currently I am reading a lot of poetry, and actually trying to put some kind reading program together for the summer. I teach and will have time to read and write over the next few months. Last summer I read detective/mystery stories written by foreign authors, set in their homeland, and really liked that. I am leaning toward exploring Muslim, and/or Arab fiction.
Favorite Writers:
Faulkner
Hemingway
Asimov
Kerouac
Solzhenitsyn
Favorite Books:
The Sound and the Fury
A Suitable Boy
War and Peace
The Raj Quartet (actually a four novel set)
Asimov's Robot Series - all of it
