Category Archives: RICHARD reads reviews

Richard reads a lot.
The list below shows the books I have read and reviewed. It reminds me and helps me remember what I have read.
     Notice my favourite author is Stuart Woods. He writes ‘adult comic books,’ pure escapism, engaging entertainment. Nothing more but fun to read.
