A Great Read



I read a lot.
From novels to biographies to non-fiction to magazines to blogs and newspapers; I am a voracious reader.
But my favorite genre has to be feature stories.
As a feature writer myself, I know what it takes to capture a reader for a couple dozen paragraphs and leave them feeling satisfied.
I subscribe to Vanity Fair magazine because I believe they offer the best feature writing available today.
I was particularly struck by the clean, descriptive and entertaining prose written for Vanity Fair by C.Brian Smith, a handsome gay college friend of Not-Jenna Bush, the other twin daughter of W.
Here's a link to his wonderful story about dinners with the Bush family at the White House.
