Georgette Heyer, Jane Austen, Marguerite Henry, JRR Tolkien, Lawrence Yep, Jane Yolen, Patricia C. Wrede, Lloyd Alexander, Tamora Pierce, and Christopher Paolini. Heyer, Austen, and Henry are the only non-fantasy authors present; of the rest, some are better than others. Henry I read when I was between seven and ten, I think. Good stories, but a very simple style. Heyer is chokingly hilarious much of the time. We all know Tolkien. Lawrence Yep seems to be in the habit of writing about Asian immigrants to the Americas, especially California. I've only read two of his, the two that are out so far of the "Tiger's Apprentice" trilogy. Tamora Pierce majors in magic in other worlds; I've read all of her Tortall books. Christopher Paolini is a young man in Montana, author of Eragon and Eldest, first two in the Inheritance trilogy. Tolkien seems to have made trilogies very much the thing.

Anyway, there ya go. Enjoy!

I really like the Winter Massey mysteries by John Ramsey Miller, along with Robert Crais's Elvis Cole Novels, any mysteries by Johnathan Kellerman, Tim Dorsey, Stuart Woods (a most prolific author with several really good series and many non-serial mysteries), also anything by Ray Bradbury. His sense of emotion is unmatched.

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. It is about a family who is murdered in Kansas, Nov. 1951. Murder and criminal activity is uncommon back then, so everyone is outraged and the commuity starts to not trust the other. A journalist named Truman Capote in NY, decides to write his next article about the murders and he goes from just writing a news article to writing a book.*Hints: the name*
It is a very intersting book. Try that! It even has a movie called Capote. You can do google searches and find out who is living in that home now, and see the evidence from the trial and bloody, pictures of those murdered.

Even though The DaVinci Code was the book/movie with all the hype, Dan Brown's earlier book Angels and Martyrs was much better. If you like psychological thrillers, the series by James Patterson based on nursery rhymes is really good (read them in order, though). Jonathan Kellerman writes good books, as does his wife (I think her name is Faith?).
