Reading, and the novels to choose from!

I do that too! My friend recommended David Eddings to me, I had never really read fantasy novels before and didn't think I would be interested...but I bought nearly all of his books, read them after one another and have now started reading all of Robert Jordans books! I've never read a Danielle Steel novel, I don't really read much romance or girly type books. I prefer thriller/crime etc but now my new favourite is fantasy. James Patterson is good too though, I've read a few of his, wasn't too keen on the Women's murder club, but have only read the first one so far, I'm sure I'll get round to the rest of the series eventually :) I have a 2nd hand bookshop near me where I got and buy heaps of books at a time for cheap!

Hi Caramello. I love Danielle Steele novels too, but I think my favourite must be Catherine Cookson, she is British. Her books are very down to earth, set in the late 1800/early 1900 period. You should try her. I also like Colleen McCullough (who could forget The Thorn Birds), and Bryce Courtney (his book Jessica was much more gripping than the film they made out of it). I haven't read any of James Patterson, so I will check him out.

I unfortunately don't get much time, but if the novels are anything like "Strangers When We Meet" (gulp) (showing a bit of age there!) I can understand the addiction! When I was mid teens I read that book and couldn't put it down, mind you I read it during class as well!! lol. I couldn't tell you who wrote it, but they made a film based on it which stared Kim Novac and Kirk Douglas.. the film was a smash but as so many times happens, didn't hold a candle to the book!!

im also an avid reader of danielle steel. i've already read many of her novels. they are really great. after i read the novels of danielle steel, i started on johanna lindsey then to nora roberts and judith mcnaught. what can i say, im a big fan of romances. i also love mystery/thriller books and started reading sydney sheldon (i've read all his novels), john grisham and dan brown. on fantasy novels, i read harry potter (im waiting for the last installment of it), and tolkien's work and right now i am reading robert jordan's novels as well as paulo coelho's works

I loved Danielle Steele I have read several of her books and I loved Jackie Collins and John Grisham. I can't say I have ever read any of James Patterson but I will look into what he has written. I am always looking for good books to read.

i read fantasy novels, epic adventures, i somewhat hooked to these novels, that sometimes even i havnt finished what im reading im thinking of buying already or sometimes im starting the other one before finishing the other...hahaha

I was addicted to Danielle Steel, but don't have time to read all that much lately. Now I read Robert G Barrett. A good aussie author with his good Aussie language. Cure the addiction, or keep going with it. Either or.

hi cara, I am an avid reader of sydney sheldon and fredrick forsythe, can you pls tell me if danielle steele is an thriller author or a general one
