Stephen King is my favorite writer. He has some crazy and creative ideas. I still really loved pet cemetary. I really liked the Da Vinci code, not saying I believe in it, but I liked it. I like to read newer books about the war. I also like reading about prophecies. Anything with some mystery to it or scary books.

Right now... James Patterson. My husband buys me each new one as soon as it's released.

I'm also re-reading all the OZ books

and Victoria Holt is also a favorite.

Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry is an AMAZING book.

I like Stephen King too. If you guys like him, you should try Dean Koontz & (oh, I just had his name, now I can't think of it, I'll fix this when I remember).

I also like the Anita Blake & Merry Gentry books by Laurell K. Hamilton. They're about werewolves & vampires (Anita Blake) and faeries (Merry Gentry). I've read a couple of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, they were pretty good. Have ya'll noticed a theme yet???

I like legal thrillers, and mystery/suspense books.

I read a lot of John Grisham and Terri Blackstock.

I read just about anything. But my favorites would have to be Nora Roberts and Sue Grafton.

Okay, I have to admit something....... I read Harry Potter. I don't mean to my kids. I will sit down & read the books for my own pleasure. Of course, my older daughter loves to hear me read them because I can take on a British accent. (Too much BBC in college, but there were some good shows on.)

I just finished The Kite Runner, which is the most inspiring and amazing story of a boy growing up in Afganistan during the 1960's and early 1970's, and then the turmoil that has happened to that country since, and more. Recommended by me. I sure hope we stick by the Afgans this time and don't forget about them like in the past.
