Well, obviously one of my favorites is Michael Connelly. I always enjoy his books especially during long plane trips. I did recently read Dean Koontz – “The Husband”. It was a fast read and entertaining with some twists. Koontz writes about OC and sometimes Riverside County so it’s cool to read a good fictional story with references to locations I have been to and street names that I have actually walked or driven down.
If you’re looking for non-fiction one of my favorites out of the past is “The Naked Ape” by a zoologist, Desmond Morris.
