About Barnes Carr's Reading & Writing

My reading tastes are eclectic, covering everything from ancient history to current biographies. I prefer fiction, as long as it's well written, but also enjoy reading US-Soviet history. After a career in journalism, I'm now working in both fiction and non-fiction, focusing on the corruptions of political power. I don't care much for TV, but enjoy music and cinema. One of my hobbies is collecting classic spy movies of the Cold War era.
