I've read way too many to count - I have read 85 this year. I read whenever I can, my house is filled with books. (however, Bookgatherer up there with the book a day has me in awe!!). I would like to just take a month off of work and do nothing but read. Not everything that I read is...

I won't read anything of Janet Dailey's anymore. I used to read her years ago, but after she was charged with plagarism, I have never touched another of her books. I am really surprised that another publisher touched her after that.

I am in the middle of Marian Keyes - Rachel's Holiday. All of Marian Keyes books are a hoot. She's a British author, the books are all pretty long - 600 pages or more, but they're quick reads and very enjoyable. My next read will be Blow Fly - Patricia Cornwell, that I just picked up at the...

I don't think I can narrow it down to one, I would have to vote for Harlan Coben - I discovered him with Final Detail, which is one of the later books featuring Myron Bolitar, after reading all of the Myron books I then got into his more recent ones and loved them more. I'm also a big Grisham...

Now I am going to start Catcher in the Rye. I was torn between Catcher and To Kill a Mockingbird (trying to read those books on that BBC list), but I couldn't find my copy of Mockingbird, so Catcher it is.

DiamondIce - I'll bet one was a number of pages for hardcover and another for paperback of Beach House. Trust me. It's an extremely quick read - he has huge spaces when he only has two or three pages per chapter. There's a lot of blank page. I have the hardcover version (Well actually my...

Flowers in the Attic - V. C. Andrews

In addition to my earlier post, I did meet Ann Marie MacDonald tonight - she read from her new book, and was terrific, so lively and comical. I am shelving the other book I was reading and diving into this one.

Many of James Patterson's books feature Alex Cross. While you don't really have to read them in order, there is a sequence of events. His books are famous for short short chapters. One that I really enjoyed, not with Alex Cross, was Beach House, the one you mentioned. It was really good and...

Most books I don't read over. I have so many other books waiting to be read, I don't want to waste time. I have read Anne of Green Gabels multiple times, as well as Tom Sawyer, Texas series from Fern Michaels. I want to go back and read "Fall on your Knees" again after hearing Ann Marie...

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

I must admit, I do sometimes just a book by its cover. Some books I will not touch because the cover turns me off. However, I always thought Maeve Binchy's covers were about the ugliest going until I got into reading her books, and I love them! Books with lake views, or cottages or Muskoka...

I think I get the booby prize - I only hit 11. However, I own about 40 more of them, so I really should get busy!!! I am not really sure what I am saving them for!

I also read John Grisham. I have read everything that he has written except "The Chamber". I loved everything he wrote in his earlier years. After that, it seemed like every second one rather bored me. And "Bleachers" is just brutal, unless you like football perhaps, which I don't...

I never have before, however Monday night I am going to see AnneMarie MacDonald - "Fall on your Knees" and "Way the Crow Flies".

I just bought Amber in the Spyglass at the used book library sale - I didn't know it was a trilogy. I suppose they need to be read in order?

Tiger's Eye - Judy Blume

I haven't seen the movie yet, but am anxiously looking forward to it. Mystic River was probably one of my top books for the year.

I second Dano with Michael Connelly or Janet Evanovich. Also, Robert Crais, Sue Grafton, Dennis Lehane.

I love his older books so much more than his newer releases, I have yet to read "The Stand" (it's sooo long, but it's on my "to read" pile). I loved Firestarter, Christine, Carrie, Dead Zone, Cujo. I am not terribly fond of his short story collections, but then again, I am not terribly fond of...
