    My ALL TIME favorite author is Charles Dickens. I would have to say a close second would be Fyodor Dostoyevsky with Leo Tolstoy a close 3rd. Out of the modern authors my favorite is Anne Rice. Within the group of my favorites would also be Tolkien, Dumas, Poe, George Martin, Thomas Hardy, Bram Stoker & Mary Shelley.

    Classic Literature is close to my heart. I prefer that over all other but there are times I just want something easy & just plain entertaining but that is not often.


    My rainbow bridge babies have forever left their paw prints on my heart.
    Lilith & Vixen, taken too soon. I love you always.

    Signatures, avatars & blinkies if anyone wants one pm me with color,
    font and background preference and with pics and names of pets.

    I can't say that I have a favorite, as I like to read many different types of books by many different authors, but I especially enjoy the works of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

    I enjoyed two of Erik Larson's books very much, Devil in the White City and In the Garden of Beasts.

    I've really liked most of John Grisham's books, too.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    My new favorite is Louise Penny. She writes mysteries that are simply fantastic. When I pick one up to read, my husband knows I won't be "present and accounted for" until the book is finished. If any of you should be interested in them, you need to read them in chronological order. Still Life is the first in the series.

    I also enjoy the books of Seth Mnookin. Non-fiction - varied subjects.

    I really like John Grisham. I love fiction books with the legal theme.

    A few of my classic favorites are Bobby Burns, Edgar Allan Poe, and Mark Twain. As for contemporary writers, it's Stephen King.
