My list of favorite authors include, but are definitely not limited to:
Agatha Christie (read all of her books numerous times)
Dan Brown
Lillian Jackson Braun (read them all)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Shakespeare
Classic literature
Mysteries, suspense, action, some romance (not too much - its got to be real! ), classics....
Just finished The Last Templar (wasn't all that impressed) and The Picture of Dorian Gray.... I need new material!
(Oh, favorite book is The Scarlet Pimpernel and all other books by Baroness Orczy - haven't read them??? Please do... its WELL worth it!)
Have you read Louisa M.Alcott books? I loved Little Women a lot...
I loved the Scarlet Pimpernal and the Tale of Two Cities too.
Have read Jane Eyre and Mill on the Floss?Some of my favourites.
Have you ever read David Baldacci?His Winner and Absolute Power are good.
I just recently read 2 John Lescroart books and I liked his style.
And I just finished Mary, Mary by James Patterson.It is good
EDIT:....Sorry about the repetetive questions regarding the books...but my net is jumpy these days and wasnt sure how long I could stay online,hence the hurried answer.I will try to post some more names later.
Over a thousand hits!!! Wow!!! Amazing job, people! Who knew there were so many people interested in good literature... lets hope we've influenced a few to lose themselves in the pages of these books.
If you like funny stuff, you might want to check out David Sedaris' "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" and Steve Martin's "The Pleasure of My Company."
For mysteries, try P D James or Elizabeth George. My book group has read both. Unfortunately, the meetings weren't very good because everyone liked them...we have more interesting meetings when there is a difference of opinion. We read James' "The Murder Room" and George's "A Great Deliverance" last year.
When I'm looking for something to read, I look at the Pulitzer Prize list. Those books are a bit more work, but the reward can be great. My book group usually reads at least one every year.
I notice your user name is HistorianChick. Are you interested in History, as well?
