Does anyone have a favorite author or book that you're reading & just can't put down? Tell us about it...

I have several author I like...Right now I'm reading James Patterson & also John Grisham....I've almost read all of them in the Grisham series...I'm reading the Chamber right now...I did find a new author I like..Perri O'Shaughnessy...all the stories are about a female attorney in Lake Tahoe...Pretty Good reading..

Ok, so no one reads but me...It is ashame though, as reading opens the windows of the mind...

I read. All kinds of books. Even strange books like Anne Rice, Stephen King, etc. I'll read anything that is interesting. I'm not into history much. I like true stories and non-fiction best. Tom Clancy, Ken Follett, John Grisham.
Right now I'm reading "Prime Witness" by Steve Martini. Very good lawyer stuff.
My interests vary, depending on my mood. Sometimes I even read Sandra Brown novels. Silly stuff, but I like it from time to time.
I hesitated to post here, waiting to see if I would be a welcome person here. I guess it's okay, so far.

I read to escape my troubles a lot of the time and to give my mind a calm away from myself. That probably only makes sense to me, but I've always been this way. If I'm upset, I pull out a good book and just read for an hour or so and then when I get up, my mind seems to just be able to sift thru the fog.

I listen to books on tape a lot. I do read in the bathroom (my office--hehe), so I don't do enough reading in my opinion. I read a lot online, researching and for my work.

I don't know the author, but the series is The Dragonriders Of Pern. There are 17 in the series, I've only read the first one, but I have the next five being shipped to me. I also really, really liked Jean Auel's 'Clan of the Cave Bear' series. I think that's the authors name. I also really like Dean Koontz. I liked Darkfall and I really, really liked Watchers, and I recommend Watchers to animal lovers. It's a superb book, but you do have to have some imagination. Jeez, I really love reading. I've also read 'Malu's Wolf' I don't know the author. That's a small book, but I read it several times. I have also read 'Julie's Wolfpack' and that was a good one. Lol.

The author is Anne McCaffrey if anyone is interested in looking for any of her books. Good read.

Yeah, she is good - I've read 6 or so of the Dragonrider of Pern series - they're good and they hold together well.

Kerack - Have you read WatchersII? Or maybe seen the movies? They're good too.

I like Nightwing and Wolfen - Both books and both movies.

I have read the clan of the cave bear series and really enjoyed them even though it took me forever I am a slow reader

Anybody want to sell any of her books? I'm a collector. Please let me know here. I'm afraid to put my email up here because of all the troubles around here. Thanks.

Heh. I didn't know if you guys read those kind of books or not. My mom's husband gave me the Anne McCaffrey books, and Dean Koontz, and my mom and a teacher of mine gave me the Auel books. I didn't know that Watchers II was out. I was wondering if they were going to make a sequal to it, that was a darn good book. I read my books pretty fast. Everyone gets mad because when I'm reading, I'm in my own world, and I've gone days without sleep just because I was so into a book. Oh, I just got Dragonriders Of Pern volume 2 and 3 today. FINALLY! Lol. I ordered them like a week ago!

I always keep my books. I've read most of them at least twice, and I even kept some children's books that I read as a kid. Lol.

I like reading mystery novels and true stories. I'm not reading anything right now.

Some of my favorites:

Ernest Hemingway.
Patricia Cornwell.
John Grisham.
John Steinbeck.
Stephen King.
James Patterson.
Janet Evanovich.

There are so many more. I love to read.

You know what impersonatior--if you want someone to talk to, I will talk to you, so will the others. I feel sorry for you because you seem so lonely, staying up all night and all day just to bump up kerack's posts. Why? What purpose does this serve? I don't see the point of it all because just as soon as anyone else at all posts, then your little game is ruined. Some people are going to post just because you annoy them--did you ever think of that?
I'm not trying to be mean to you, but you seem like you need a friend --- do YOU?

It's a small world, after all.

Until a few years ago, I used to read 2 or 3 books a week - sometimes more. But time is so scarce. I love to just completely get absorbed in what I am reading - to the point that I feel like the characters left me behind when the book ended.

I really like the series of books by Philipa Carr. She also wrote under Victoria Holt and Jean Plaidy. But the series that she wrote as Philipa Carr begins in the Middle Ages and continues into the 1940s (I believe). Each book has references to characters in previous books. One day I hope to have time to just sit and reread the whole series from the first book to the end. Luckily I do have the whole series. The author is no longer living and some of the older hardbacks are not only difficult to find, but also a little expensive.

I just got 35 mystery books in paperback in that I won on an online auction. I can't wait to get started. Too many titles to name. I'll let you know how I fared. Got to get to reading now.
