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!)
I just want to thank HistorianChick for starting this thread. I have made of list of interesting reads folks have suggested here. I'm starting Georgianna by Amanda Foreman, a biography of the Duchess of Devonshire. Looks interesting - I'll let you know if its any good when I get finished.
Okay I have a couple more. Now keep in mind these are both Chick-lite books. However, a friend of mine, who is male and not gay, read the first one and enjoyed it.
'Something Borrowed' written by Emily Griffin (pink cover) also in paperback
'Something Blue' written by Emily Griffin (blue cover) also in paperback
I highly recommend reading both books as the story continues from the first one. It's a good read. The first story takes place in NYC (hint ... hint ... HistorianChick) The second book takes place in London, if memory serves me correctly. It's a great story of four friends and how life has it's own plans sometimes. Yet, when we are faced with drastic life changes, in the end our own little, 'happily ever after' can be much better than our short term disappointment and even long term broken heart.
Emily Griffin write a third book that looks like it goes with the series but it's a completely different story and not as good as the first ones. It's called 'Baby Proof' (yellow cover)
HistorianChick, you have to read these two books as it pertains so much to what you are dealing with now. Though much different style than Suzanne's Diary to Nicholas, you will find these two books just as hard to put down. You will smile at how similar your situation is to the characters in this book.
These two books will not bring out the emotion from our previous book discussions. However, they will make you chuckle and smile and we all need that from time to time.
In the grand scheme of literature, we have several categories:
1. Chick-lit books: those books that are cute, adorable, and little pieces of yummy goodness.
2. Bubbalicious: those books that are long-lasting, good to the last drop
3. Double Mint: those books that double your refreshment and have cute characters in Tennis outfits
4. Big Leauge Chew: those books that pack a punch, keep you going, and look great in your back pocket
