What kind of reader were you as a child? Which childhood books and authors stick with you most?
As a kid I as a voracious visitor to Washington's main public library. I loved reading plays that Arena Stage performed across the street. Plays were more fun to read then. I also loved the Hardy boys and Nancy Drew series. Nancy was more fun.

Hardy boys and Nancy Drew are standard choices, but the plays are not. It's actually quite difficult to read plays and imagine what they might look like on stage. Perhaps the fact that Kramer had already seen the plays was helpful. It must have been fascinating to a kid that you could watch a play and then go across the street to read the source material.
