Good thread!
My favourite author by far is Patricia Cornwell - just finished her latest
(The Last Precinct) and my god, what an ending! Stephen King is second, but
I prefer his later stuff to his true "horror" books. Loved Dolores
Claibourne and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.
I also love Jean Auel's Earth's Children series (Ayla and Jondalar, etc.)
and am not-so-patiently waiting for the fifth book. I love how she uses
true archaeological artifacts and builds her stories around them.
Other favourites include Keri Hulme (The Bone People is my all-time
favourite book), Nevil Shute, John Grisham, Bryce Courtney, Tom Sharpe,
Douglas Adams, Thomas Harris, Janet Frame, Michael Crichton, Helen Fielding,
etc., etc.
Basically I'll read anything anyone recommends! I can't sleep at night
unless I've read for an hour or so, so I'm always on the lookout for new
authors. I also read very quickly, so I like long books!
