    I have read three of James Patterson's series (Women's Murder Club, Alex Cross, Maximum Ride) - all good. I recently bought books from some authors I hadn't heard of before, haven't read them yet.

    Kate White is really good too.
    So is Emily Griffin.

    Book suggestions?? :D

    What kind of book genre do you like? I am a HUGE book lover. LOVE reading!!! :) But I think it depends on what you like.
    I read a lot of different stuff. Love biographies as well. And I also love a book that will shock the hell out of me. But I find most people tend to not like those books. LOL

    Let me know. :) There are tons of books suggestions I'd love to give you. :) I just wouldn't know where to start without a genre.

    I just finished Birds of America by Lorrie Moore, and it was a very good, well-written collection of short stories.

    And, I always have to recommend books by Tom Robbins and Christopher Moore. They're two of my favorite authors :flowerforyou:

    well idk if you have read em but the "fallen" series is good but must be read in order for them to make sense
    "Fallen"(first) "Torment"(second)(best) "passion"(third) and "rapture"(but it has yet to come out so idk if its gud *sad face*)
    also the stephanie plum series is good if you havent read them there pretty funny
    starts with "one for the money" "two for the dough" i think there are about 18 of them lol

    Anything by Sheri S. Tepper, Ursula Le Guin, or Alexandre Dumas would be my favourites.
    Do you have a genre or style that you enjoy reading?
    I am quite a bit of a bookworm (I have 6 bookcases crammed full at home), but favour science fiction and fantasy.

    I am on the second book of this series by Joanne Fluke. I like it so far. Mystery / detective, but not of the intensity of James Patterson et al.

    Good Omens - Neil Gaiman and Terry Prachett
    The Hitchhiker's Guide - Douglas Adams
    Inkheart, Inkspell, Inkdeath - a trilogy by Cornelia Funke
    World War Z - Max Brooks (If you are into zombies at all, this one is fantastic)
    Percy Jackson series - Rick Riordan

    I read primarily fantasy/sci-fi, but a couple awesome non-fiction books

    Salvation on Sand Mountain - Dennis Covington
    The Year of Living Biblically - AJ Jacobs

    Both investigate different aspects of faith. Salvation on Sand Mountain is about the snake handling churhes in the south and The Year of Living Biblically follows the author who decided to live by the letter of the Bible for a year instead of the essence. I am not 'of faith' and still loved them both.

    I love LOVE liebe A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice, it's an EXCELLENT book. If you don't mind twists and turns and stories about gays. It's a GREAT book. And so is Emma by Jane Austen if you love romance novels from the 1800s and so is Jane Eyre by Bronte.

    I just realized by going to my bookshelf that it isn't easy to just name them all. LOL So, I thought I will tell of the books I have read recently and liked.

    1) The Other Boleyn Girl - I absolutely LOVE this book. It is so different than the movie and got me hooked on all things Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.
    2) (NON-FICTION) Broken by Shy Keenan (NON-FICTION) - Very hard book to read. But an amazing story of surviving a brutal childhood.
    3) (NON-FICTION) Playground: A Childhood Lost Inside The Playboy Mansion
    4) Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris
    5) (NON-FICTION) The Heroin Diaries
    6) Mary Bloody Mary
    7) (NON-FICTION) Thing Of Beauty: The Tragedy Of Supermodel Gia
    8) (NON-FICTION) John Lennon: The Life
    9) (NON-FICTION) John by Cynthia Lennon
    10) (NON-FICTION) Madonna: An Intimate Biography
    11) Push by Sapphire
    12) (NON-FICTION) Night by Ellie Weizel

    You can see I read more non-fiction than anything else.

    I also have read books by Denis Lehane (Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River, etc.), Richard Matheson (I Am Legend), Cormac McCarthy (The Road), Jack Ketchum and Anne Rule.
    I have also read every book by Sidney Sheldon and liked them all. V.C. Andrews books are great too. My favorite is the whole Flowers In The Attic series starting with Garden Of Shadows.
    I also really enjoyed Breaking Dawn but don't like saying it. LOL

    I have SO many books on my shelf that I still haven't read. The next books I'm reading will be reading is 'Seductive Poison' which is a non-fiction book about Jonestown and the Peoples Temple. It will be a really hard one to read. I also have many books about the holocaust to read. And a bio on Paul McCartney.

    I really wish I could think of more. I read a lot of books on my Kindle as well but forget about those once I finish and delete it.
