Favorite Author?

Thank you for your input. My boyfriend is into Stephen King. I'm just more into nice pretty things haha

These authors are great if you want to get your teeth into a book as they are quite long and detailed - I loved Dreamcatcher and think the film does not do it justice! I still need to check a toilet before using it sometimes! They are a bit scarey but in the safety of your own home that is a good thing along the same lines as fairground rides. They make me appreciate how lucky my life is.

Magical: I actually never read Dreamcatcher, I don't even really know what it's about!! But I don't like the sound of having to check toilets before using them!!! lol MH: I like some "nice" books too. There is one book called Crazy For You by Jennifer Cruise...there's a guy stalking his ex-girlfriend, but it isn't done in like a dark way. I think it was a really "fun" read and I loved the characters in it. You might like it! I'm actually saving it for my 'to read again' list. lol

What kind of writing does he do? Any books in particular you recommend?

im asking about susan wiggs.

i love romance books. i have just recently started reading paranormal romances. i think I've heard about the Calhoun Chronicles i just did not know who the author was. thanks for the info. i go looking for them ASAP. the book your reading sounds very intresting. let me know when you finish if it has a good or sad ending. it sounds kinda like a comedy as well with the elder playing matchmaker, as the older generation are wont to do.

I would explain Susan Wiggs' writing as Romance. the book I am currently reading is called Summer Hideaway. It is about a nurse named Claire who takes people who are in their last couple months of life to help them fufill, for lack of a better term, their bucket list. The man she is currently working with has a grandson who was in the war and he comes to stay with his grandfather in the last couple months of his life. The grandfather continusly tries to hook up Ross (his grandson) and Claire. The Summer Hideaway is part of a series called "The Lakeshore Chronicles" there are about 7 books in that series. They arent all the same story though. They are just books written about different cottages and resorts in North Seattle. This book that I am reading is the 2nd book I've read in "The Lakshore Chronicles" series. There about 6 different series that Susan Wiggs writes, some examples are, "The Tudor Rose Trilogy" "Chicago Fire Trilogy" and "Calhoun Chronicles". Hopefully I have inspired you to read Susan Wiggs novels. She truely is a great writer. :D Happy Reading.

i absolutely love Stephanie Meyer's twilight saga. i mean the movies has nothing on the books. while the tars are cute the actual action and drama is sort of missing due to the limitations on the special effects. there is only so much a special effect can do. ones imagination is unlimited.

Well I adore Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. Cinda William Chima wrote the Heir Trilogy, another one of my favorites. I love the Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker and the King Raven Trilogy by Stephen Lawhead. I've read and loved all of Frank Peretti's books but my favorite would have to be This Present Darkness.

I have read a few CS Lewis'. Any books from these authors you reccomend? I am always looking for new books to read.

i think the books are better cause the movies cut out alot of things that were important to understanding the plot and the reasons behind what the characters did? the movies help to really put a face to the characters and scenes.

That depends--of course--on your preference. I haven't seen Angels & Demons, but The Da Vinci Code kinda clarified some scenery that The Da Vinci Code wasn't very detailed on (which is good, because neither Dan Brown nor Ron Howard really wanted you to think about the scenery too much; but--when the scenery's in the peripheral field-of-vision--it kinda helps make the story 'realer.') Maybe that's just my general view on movies-from-books.

I've seen the movies but I have never read the books. Do you reccomend them? Are they better than the movies?

I would LOVE to meet Susan Wiggs! It would be sooooo cool!

He writes fiction Books. Mostly about crime, fiction court cases,some kinds of conflicts,but mostly legal thrillers. His latest book is The Confession. He has around 25 book out now

What kind of writing does John Grisham do? fantasy, fiction, non-fiction(which i guess is the same as fantasy)?

Classical books arent bad. I make sure I have time to read. For christmas I got $100 in Barnes and Noble gift cards and spent all of it on Susan Wiggs books. :) I am on the third one.

I'm like you, there are some Stephen Kings I won't read, not because their to long, but because I think they'll be too disturbing for me. The Stand and It are definitely on my 'no way' list! lol. So it Dolores Claibourne (spelling?). If you were to ever read one of his long books, I think you should give his newest one, Under the Dome, a chance. It is over a 1,000 pages (but there is a blank page between each new section. But the book was really good and I found it hard to put down, so despite it's length I finished it fast.

i am sorry but i think Stephen King has some serious issues that need to be worked out in therapy. his book "IT" gave me nightmares for a while week. or maybe i have a very fertile imagination. James Patterson is too much mystery for me to enjoy his books. i have never heard of Robert B. Parker or Clive Cussler.

I LOVE Clive Cussler! Very awesome books!

Fantasy isnt my favorite but I have read the Harry Potter books and they were good. I am more of a person that likes to learn through others ecspecially in books, I am just addicted to reading...sometimes it gets me in trouble though. :/ haha. I think that if i was into fantasy more it would get me into even more trouble but good for you i am glad you found something you enjoy. :D Thank for your response I apperciate it!

Looks like a lot of people like Stephan King which is good for you guys. I have seen the DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons movies but I have never read the books.
