This is a wonderful thread, so fun to know what everyone likes to read.
I enjoy Dean Koontz, especially his ODD THOMAS series. Such a sweet character.
I recently read DOG BOY by Eva Hornung. "A four-year-old boy named Romochka is abandoned by his mother and uncle and left to fend for himself on the streets of Moscow, with uncounted millions of homeless children and adults. He follows a stray dog to its home in a deserted church celler. There he joins Mamochka, the mother of the pack, and six other dogs and slowly he forgets his human attributes to survive two fiercely cold winters. Romochka attracts the attention of local police, street urchins, and finally, scientists."
This was an amazing and very touching story. I usually read while I eat, may want to rethink doing that with this book.
Two of my all time favs are Stephen King's, THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON, and THE GRASS HARP, by Truman Capote.
Both these are wonderful stories that I have reread several times.
And anything by Laura Kinsale. Historical romances with flawed heroes resourceful heroines.
I also read Andrew Vachss but I sometimes need a mental health break after one of his. Very intense and dark. But intellegent and touching.
I could go on forever as I love to read and read all different kinds of stories.
