I am a "Thriller" book fanatic and have read a huge percentage thats out there, so here are some excellent choices (I was going to say "page turner" until I heard the joke "why do people say this book is a real page turner--I know how books work!) Jeffery Deaver, Dennis Lehane, David Morrell and Lee Child, in my opinion they are the best thriller writers in the business!! I am a avid reader in this genre and have read Coben, King, Koontz, F. Paul Wilson, Connelly, and many others but none can touch these authors I've listed! The Deaver book I've just finished reading now is "The Sleeping Doll"--a brand new release and has literally keeped me up at nights!! I'm quite sure you'll love his other thrillers as well, such as "The Bone Collector", "A Maiden's Grave", "The Coffin Dancer", "Praying For Rain", "Cold Moon", "The Twelveth Card", "The Vanished Man", "Devil's Tear Drop" et el. For Lehane, start with "A Drink Before War" (don't let the title fool you) then "Darkness Take My Hand", "Sacred", "Gone, Baby Gone", "Prayers For Rain", "Shutter Island" and "Mystic River." For Lee Child, you can start with his first and move forward, but it's Ok if you don't. Some personal favs are: "One Shot", "Trip Wire", "Hard Luck and Trouble"--a new release, "The Persuader"-my personal fav, "The Hard Way", but they are all page turners! Also, last but definately not least is David Morrell. All his books are good, but I especially enjoy his last two releases "Creepers" and "Scavenger" which are guaranteed page-turners. Just finished my first Ed Mcbain book "Fiddlers" and it was both engaging and hilarious! Hope this helps, enjoy, Greg

I like to read several books at once, some are books for entertainment value (Mitch Album books are great), some for learning purposes (The Theology of The Body, and The Art of Natural Family Planning), and some to feed my soul with (the Bible, the Chronicles of Narnia Series). I also LOVE my magazines (for car rides mainly). I LOVE TO READ!

All kinds. Right now I'm reading one by Sherrilyn Kenyon [part of the Dark Hunter series]. And Chosen By The Spirits [about personal shamanism] and a cookbook on vegetarian cooking [from India, so it's taking me some time to understand it].
You?

Well, personally I LOVE Stephen King books. His vivid descriptions and constant incredible emphasis to his characters make me in a completely different world. I could read his book for hours and hours on end. Ive just finished reading one of his recent books, Blaze. I'm interested in reading Lisey's Story.

Lately, only the classics from authors like Tolstoy, Steinbeck, Hemmingway, Dickens, etc...
I guess I'm catching up on the books I never read in school.
