Q:  Do you read books by diverse authors or books with diverse characters (such as LGBT, ethnic minorities, religious minorities, etc)? If yes, do you have any book recommendations? Do you visit indie and/or used bookstores? Also, have you ever worked in any?
A: I do. The best book I can recomend with diversity is Dante and Aristotle and the Secrets to the Universe. EPIC read!!! I love any and all bookstores, but have not worked in one. I would though!

    wow, I like that passage. I had tried one Patterson, and it was so bad, with so many mistakes about King Tut. I may have to reconsider and try one

      James Patterson's books are a mixed bag; some are entertaining, and the rest are duds.

    I haven't read a James Patterson in so long. I always love his books and this looks like a good one. Enjoy and have a great weekend!

    I try to read diverse authors, especially ones from other countries but on close inspection I don't think I always accomplish it.

    The Ray Charles Grand Prix totally made me chuckle. James Patterson's books are always good distractions and engaging :) Enjoy!

    My father in law loves James Patterson - always a great gift idea! Lol! I think diversity is fairly common in the genres I read but I admit some authors are better at including diverse characters than others.
