    Greg Iles-some different kind of thrillers
    Stephen Hunter- especially the Bob Lee Swagger stuff-black light, time to humt, Dirty white boys.
    Clive Cussler-good historical mysteries.
    stephen King.....altho he, in the last few years has run short on ideas.

    So do you like fantasy? (I'm a little confused there) 'Cause the first books on my favorites list ARE sci-fi...like Lord of the Rings, Eragon, Eldest, etc...I highly recommend these ones, and all three are extremely thick books too! hehe Eragon and Eldest are the first two books in a trilogy about dragons, elves, men, magic, and good verses evil by a 17-yr-old named Christopher Paolini. I'm excited 'cause the movie Eragon is coming out this fall too!


    Thanks Kay!!

    I'm not too big of a reader, but my husband, Justin, is. I don't know if you'd like the kinds of books he reads, but I'll list some of his favorites. I read a little here and there.

    I think my two favorite books would have to be Tara Road and When The Wind Blows.

    Justin's favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk (he wrote Fight Club). I think Justin's favorite book by him is Survivor.

    He's currently reading House of Leaves. He's loving it so far.

    One of his favorite books is The Straw Men.

    Have you read the His Dark Materials trilogy? Justin hasn't yet read them, but a friend highly recommended to him.

    Tom Clancy, oh writer of one of my favourite video games ever (as if that's really the point. ). I am sure his books are as awesome as the games.

    Hmm, I like history and whatnot! See, the books that I am reading now are To Wake The Dead which is some sort of thriller (I am not good with putting things in genres).
