I’m partial to memoirs. Mostly because I enjoy reading about other people’s dysfunctional lives/childhoods/eccentric habits.
I LOVE Augusten Burroughs – especially Possible Side Effect and Magical Thinking. He’s a total smart ass – and a gay man – so not for everyone. But I LOVE him.
Also LOVED “The Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls.
And, if you havent read “Eat Pray Love (the ULTIMATE chick novel), you must.
Patricia Cornwell novels are fun – I love the Kay Scarpetta novels.
If you like Historical Fiction, try The Other Boleyn Girl or Pillars of the Earth.
I also loved Mists of Avalon, but could never really get into Marion Zimmer’s other novels.
Speakin of Ken Follet, he has written some excellent thrillers. So has Robert Ludlum.
