I like those two also. Then there are general murder mysteries (love the forensic types) but my favorite author is Terry Pratchett (Discworls series). Neil Gaiman has it going on too.

Last year I got an MP3 player and have been downloading books from Librivox and Audible. The Librivox books are free. Most of the classics are there. I have a hard time sitting down and reading, but I've listened to way over 100 books while I sew, garden, drive and walk the dogs. I've "discovered" Anthony Trollop, Elizabeth Gaskell, Arnold Bennett and others. I've "reread" Gone With the Wind, Lonesome Dove, Roots, and Watership Down. The Stieg Larsson series was wonderful.

I have a wide variety of tastes, but have been reading mostly SciFi/Fantasty lately. My boys got me hooked! John Ringo, David Drake, Eric Flint, Anne (and Todd) McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, Elizabeth Moon, Jody Lynn Nye...to name a few.

I read mostly Christian historical fiction. I LOVE all of Al Lacy's stuff. A friend recently introduced my to Wanda Brunsetter's work.

I love anything by James Patterson and JD Robb (which is Nora Roberts). James Patterson's books are such quick reads that sometimes I am dissapointed that I read it so quickly :)

I am a Dean Koontz fan with my son, he buys them, I read them! I will fill in with anything I pick up at the resale shop.

lately I've been stuck on Wanda Brunsetter and Beverly Lewis books. Reading about the Amish is fascinating! I love to read though so can go in any direction really....sci-fi, romance, historical fiction, Christian fiction....There's a series by Brock and Bodie Thoene that I finished not long ago that was amazing..it was like being back in Biblical times. I don't buy many books anymore as the last few kids read as much as I do and it is simply impossible to keep us in books. We use the library a LOT!

I'm an SF kinda person too.. Prefer hard SF over Fantasy, tho I can enjoy well written Fantasy too. Outside that genre, like Robert B. Parker, James Patterson (will only read what HE writes tho and not just because they put his name on the book with a co-author). Guess my most favorite at the moment is the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Resisted reading it for years because it just didn't sound like my kind of book. Then found that I absolutely loved it. It is even better on audio books read by Davina Porter.

It took me till the movies to come out to finally read Tolkein I could NOT get into them in High School. (and I also played D&D for years w/o realizing how much those books influenced the game)

The only fantasy I really will read consistently is anything by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.

Have you read Sizzling Sixteen yet?? I just went to Books-a-Million and skimmed it with one hand over my eyes in fear of another rotten book, but I actually found myself laughing again...
I think maybe she has gotten back her mojo... Ranger is even using sentences in this one!
