Chick lit by practically anyone, though the Brits are a real hoot! If I read serious stuff all the time, my head explodes. Love, M | ||

Robert Parker's Spenser novels -- the opposite of chick lit, a chance to taste macho invulnerability. Michael | ||

But Andrew, do read Rain Gods. As good as he gets. I don't consider Donnelly, McBain, Reich, MacDonald as guilty pleasures but just damn fine writers. Add Deavers, Lippman and Vachss to that list. Ed Mc wrote 56 books and I read everyone though finding some was a trick. Smiles. Gary Celebrate Walt with Gary: http://www.poetrykit.org/pkl/tw10/tw4conte.htm | ||

I read a book by John Grisham, once. Never again. What an artless piece of crap that was. "People who believe a lot of crap are better off." Charles Bukowski | ||

interesting...velly velly interesting. Fred...you have quite a list!!!! I, too, like a good Michael Connolly book once in a while. Oh (gosh, who above mentioned him?) and about the attorney-turned-writer (Grisham)...read one--never again. Has anyone tried to read anything by (gawd, what's her name?) O yeah, Danielle Steele?

Sue Grafton, Nicholas Sparks,James Patterson -- I think of them as junk food for the brain. Not essential to function, but danm enjoyable every now and again! -- J.B. "...anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you." -- David White, "Sweet Darkness" | ||

J.B. I don't consider your choices exactly "junk food." Sparks is fairly respected --far as I know...same with Sue Grafton (or I could be thinking of someone else). Scott, You and my hubby would get along quite well. ~T. | ||

Robert Parker (I have an orgy of rereads once every few years, IN ORDER) Terry Pratchett (all of them, in order, starting in January each year) Lawrence Block, his Hitman series. A bit off the wall, but always enjoyable. Science Fiction (or any other genre) that deals with time travel, time manipulation, time warping. And of course Sue Grafton. She's just plain fun, and now and then nails one beautifully. Afraid of the Dark | ||

Teresa! ... you can find mr Sharpe here: Tom Sharpe If you give him a try, don't ever read his novels in public places. I did once, on a train, and people thought I was having a fit of sorts. I didn't merely laugh, I horse-guffawed, tears streaming, and I couldn't stop. If I were someone else, I would've found it bloody embarrassing. Judy! ... Terry Pratchett rocks, yea! science-fiction too, and steampunk! | ||

i love zits, it's hysterical, and almost the only comic I read. I am a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes, too. so there. Pratchett is another you dont want to read in public, he builds his scenes the way good ensemble comedy builds, and at the end you realize your eyes are streaming and your nose is running and dont know if you should laugh or cry... I can hardly wait for January so I can start my journey with him all over again. Every time I read those, I find something I missed the last time. Afraid of the Dark | ||
