I’ve read most of them; some more than once! I was crazy for Bradbury, Atwood and Vonnegut as a teen.

My Mother is a voracious reader. She used to get the ‘Readers Digest Condensed Books’ in the mail each month. She handed me ‘Jaws’ and said, ‘You have GOT to read this!’ I was 14 years old. *GASP* ‘Jaws’ was the first ‘R-Rated’ movie I ever sneaked into - and sure wish I hadn’t! I don’t like scary movies, but scary books are fine - you CAN put them down, LOL!

As an adult I’m drawn to Historical Fiction, Police/Cop Series and any Murder Mystery, though I have a list of favorite Authors as long as my arm. ;)

Currently reading: ‘Istanbul Passage’ by Joseph Kanon but I am NOT above reading the current James Patterson thriller, either. ;)

Diana Gabaldon.

I read Gone With The Wind numerous times. Mitchell could turn a phrase.

I read Patterson when he first began writing, and still love his Alex Cross novels. Once he began to use "co-authors" I lost interest. Until "Eruption," with Michael Chrichton. When I saw that his widow was holding the manuscript for the right writer.... I'll get to it soon! We'll see how Patterson does for the late author.
