Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Lee Child, Philippa Gregory, Kathy Reichs, James Patterson.

Currently reading 'Tragically I was an Only Twin' an anthology of work by the late, great, Peter Cook. One of the few books to make me laugh out loud.

[Canary42]

Charles Dickens (closely followed by Jane Austen)

If Minds had Toes, by Lucy Eyre.

[Quassia]

>I don't read a lot of fiction. < sure you do... you just don't know it ;-)

[Arksided]

[LeMarchand]

George R R Martin (who is finally releasing a new book in July).

Last book read "The Last Dragonslayer" by Jasper Fforde.

Currently reading "Kraken" by China Mieville.

[Sir Alec]

Stephen King and Clive Barker.

The last book I read was Imajica, by Clive Barker.

[mungbeanz]

The last book I read was The Talented Mr Ripley. Patricia Highsmith has written some very good books.
I don't have a favourite author, I read books almost at random regardless of who wrote them. Maybe if a book was utterly terrible I would avoid that author.

[Bbbananas]

John Irving, Kate Morton, John Boyne, David Nicholls, Barbara Trapido, Joanne Harris - far too many to mention or even remember without going home & looking.

[horseshoes]

Thomas Hardy.

[seadogg]

Agreed in spades Mosaic

[chrissa1]

James Patterson, Harlen Coben, Michael Connolly, Susan Howatch, Clive Cussler.

[janbee]

Bill Bryson, Tom Sharpe, Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride and Peter James. I'm currently re-reading all their books again....for the millionth time!!. Love them all.

[pa___ul3]

I like Milan Kundera for a bit of depth but my fave has to be Dave Eggers, I love his style.
Last book I read was Derren Brown's latest one, Confessions of a conjuror.
