Reading is one of my favorite hobbies ~ I admit that, with few exceptions, I am generally a reader of fiction ~ some of my favorite authors are Scott Turow, James Patterson [the Alex Cross series], Richard North Patterson, Janet Evanovitch [the Stephanie Plum "numbers" series], Jonathan Kellerman, Stuart Woods [not a great writer but tells a good story], David Balducci ~ virtually anything you pick up by any of those authors will be enjoyable ~ I'm currently reading "The Suspect" by John Lescroart ~ about halfway thru, the book has interesting character development but moves fairly slowly ~ I'd love to hear what you all are reading and some of your own favorite authors ~

I'm not in the middle of any books right now but authors I like include Stephen King, Jeffery Deavers, J R Ward, Robert B Parker (the Spenser books), P D James. Also Janet Evanovitch, both Jonathan and Faye Kellerman, P J Tracey. If I really enjoy a particular book, I tend to read it over and over again, like the Harry Potter series, The Count of Monte Cristo, many of Laurell K Hamilton's books. Right now though, I'm not in a reading mood - I'm too busy trying to learn my way around Yuku.

I too read anything by Robert Parker and Faye Kellerman [the Pete/Rina series particularly] ~ I also like Sara Paretsky, Sue Grafton, and Margaret Maron ~ btw, the action in Lescroart's "The Suspect" picked up nicely almost immediately after I posted saying it was slow ~

I am not much of a fiction fan. However, I did read "The Shack" on the recommendation of a friend. It is a christian fiction book and it was awesome. Read it in one day. It was about a man, who's daughter is kidnapped and killed and God inviting the man to a meeting with him.

I just finished one of Barbara Ehrenreichs books "Bait and Switch" about the plight of middle class professionals in their job search. She went undercover to explain the frustration in finding a job. Excellent read!
