Jane Eyre is a great book! I really enjoyed the Poisonwood Bible and anything by Paulo Cohelo. He's a Brazilian author.

ohhh... this may well be a protracted checklist... lol non-fiction: bill Bryson (very humorous guy). In A Sunburned u . s . is one in all my favourites by ability of him. Eric Schlosser - rapid foodstuff u . s . and Reefer insanity. Mark Kurlansky writes exciting histories of issues and activities. Carolly Erickson is an surprising biographer. Barbara Ehrenreich writes very exciting social assertion books like Nickel and Dimed, and wonderful-sided. fiction: Rita Mae Brown - the Mrs. Murphy secret sequence and a team of stand on my own novels. Philippa Carr - many times historic. she wrote the different Bolyen woman, between many others. Lauren Willig - a appealing secret sequence that starts with the secret background of the pink Carnation. Sophie Kinsella - the Shopaholic sequence, to boot as some brilliantly humorous stand on my own books like the Undomestic Goddess and can you retain a secret? J.D. Robb - futuristic secret sequence, In loss of life. Sarah Addison Allen - backyard Spells and The Sugar Queen. strange and wonderful books. Isabel Wolff - A classic Affair L.M. Sir Bernard Law - the Anne of green Gables books. i enjoyed them while i become a baby and that i admire them now. Charlaine Harris - the Sookie Stackhouse books (the sequence real Blood is loosely based on those books).

Memnoch the Devil, Anne Rice (I took Jane Eyre to be slightly depressing. I'm more of a Pride and Prejudice person.)

I love reading and have read loads of books I've enjoyed hugely. I can still say I have one favourite though-"The Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens. However many books you love it IS possible to have one favourite, and this is mine because it is funny, and yet heartwarming and thought provoking, filled with the same issues as his later work but with more optimism and hope.
