Just found my notebook that had listed the books I read in 1996. This is a partial list.

Preston, Richard. Hot zone
Criddle, Joan. Bamboo and butterflies: from refugee to citizen (sound recording)
Faragher, John Mack. Daniel Boone: the life and legend of an American pioneer
Follett, Ken. The key to Rebecca
Follett, Ken. Dangerous fortune
Bradford, Barbara Taylor. Everything to gain
Gentry, Curt. J. Edgar Hoover: the man and his secrets
Jakes, John. Homeland
Evanovich, Janet. One for the money
Gilbert, Martin. Churchill: a life
Maupin, Armistead. Further tales of the city
Trillin, Calvin. Calvin Trillin: piece by piece (sound recording)
Hamilton, Jane. Map of the world
Connelly, Michael. Last coyote
Michener, James. Space
Martini, Steve. Undue influence
Krentz, Jayne Ann. The main attraction

"The Hot Zone" is one that I still remember and recommend to folks looking for a nonfiction read. It's the tale of how the ebola virus came to the United States and is as chilling as any Robin Cook or Michael Crichton thriller. And it's true!
