The Bigger The Better!!

I love anything by James Patterson , Patricia Cornwell or Dean Koontz Dawn 375/273/?

Hi Dawn Thanks for the info! willby

I know this is gonna sound like a joke, but I really did like "Thinner" by Stephen King. I used to love reading his books and Dean Koontz, but havent sat done with a book in a really long time! Karyn

Karyn, Thanks girlfriend! I loved "Thinner"! willby

The Shining is great its so good....i like stephen king too i bet he has really bad nightmares lol i hear he has his wife look under the bed at night because he scares himself but thats just what i heard lol I haven't read any lately but a autobi about sylvia browne

Marlena I always tell my family I would have liked to see them re-make "The Shining" with the old cast of Roseanne. Can you imagine? LOL I used to really like Sylvia Browne. Now, she just gets on my last nerve. take care willby

See Willby, I knew we had a lot in common ... my bookshelves are lined with Stephen King and Clive Barker. I used to read Dean Koontz, but lost interest after a while. In the last year, I've been reading Jeffrey Deaver (I really like the "Lincoln Rhyme" series of books he's written, but all of them have been good). Peter Straub is also a great horror writer. On the lighter side of things, I love Alice Hoffman, Barbara Kingsolver, Fanny Flagg, and, of course, J.K. Rowling. Recently, I've been sort of intent on reading some children's and classic books I either never read as a child or never got around to reading until now ... The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Chronicles of Narnia, Watership Down, Anna Karenina, and Sense and Sensibility. Also, I've been getting kind of addicted to the Mossflower series of books by Brian Jacques, but they're kind of an acquired taste, I think, and more of a children's series. Sorry, didn't mean to ramble on so long, but you asked about one of my favorite pasttimes ... reading!! (((hugs))) Myra

((((((((MYRA))))))))), Yep! I knew too we have a lot in common I used to like Dean Koontz too. And I really liked Odd Thomas(have you read it?) But most of his books are all the same story just different characters. I LOVE to read. I always tell my kids that "books are your best friends"......but none of the 3 read at all. Thanks Myra willby

Danielle Steel...Nicholas Sparks..Mary Higgins Clark...LaVyrle Spencer...Fern Michaels....Kate White Ok so they all write romance...except for Mary Higgins Clark she does mysteries... BUT some romances are pretty much horror anyways! I love to read.. I'll read about anything....
