Another off-color, laugh-out-loud author for those in the market for a cynical (yet informative and insightful) look at religion/afterlife: Christopher Moore…. I loved loved loved “LAMB, The Gospel According to Biff, Jesus’ Childhood Friend.”

Way back when I read ALL of the Nancy Drews (over and over and over). I collected them all — and got as many “originals” as possible.

I’ve also collected and read just about anything that Jack Finney and Richard Matthesen wrote.

I have all of the Diane Mott Davidson culinary mysteries (except for her latest — I’m a paperback kind of gal) and Sue Grafton’s alphabet mysteries.

Also adore Dorthea Benton Frank…just recommended her to a co-worker.

All of Douglas Adams
Working on Discworld books
Have read the HP series
Disected all of Fforde so far
Devoured Vonnegut, Asimov and Bradbury in high school.
John Irving was a fave throughout college
and I’m not embarrassed to admit I read the Vampire Chronicles from Rice.

When I was a youngster, I was all about the Roald Dahl… *sigh*

J. D. Salinger! I’m so surprised that I’m the first one to mention him.

Just to reiterate the Vonnegut phase-I’ve outgrown it but I meet more and more people that went through their own Vonnegut phase.

By the way-they are all the same book. They’re genius works- compiled in differant ways-but the same book.

Douglas Adams’ books were okay, read them all. Rowling’s pretty good…I’ve read the HP books 4x each. Finished all of Dashiell Hammett’s books this year, too. I have to say, though, my favorite is John Mortimer’s Rumpole of the Bailey series, I’ve read them all except for the newest one and have read some of his other fiction with more on the list. I’ve started to like Raymond Chandler, Ray Bradbury, Agatha Christie, and Michael Chabon and hope to complete their works in the next few years.

James Patterson, Ed McBain, Preston & Childs and Carl Hiaasen are my favorites. I turned my 9 year old son on to “Flush” & “Hoot” as a break from working his way through R.L. Stine’s 300+ Goosebumps, Rotten School and Fear Street books.
