After being recommended been reading my 1st by Joy Fielding  'Heartstopper' (think that's what its called) book is upstairs, anyway it was a fantastic read..

Got it in Waterstones, but her books are not that easy to get hold of here in the UK well worth the effort of finding though and have seen some on ebay and Amazon...

I particularly love James Patterson and Patricia Cornwall... im def more of a thriller kinda girl!

I love James Patterson books and Dean Koontz. I just finished Dean Koontz "odd hours" which isn't as good as the other "odd thomas"  books but still well worth the read. would love to hear about some other good thrillers as I read any time I have a spare second and have just moved from romance to thriller when my father in law gave me a dean koontz book at christmas so I don't know much about other authors and all my friends love girly reads.

That was supposed to be a smile not a thumbs down!!!!!!

Joh Grisham' are worth a read altough I cheat and download the audiobooks for my ipod!! Much better Xx 

i tend to read james patterson, lynda la plant and have i am just on my second book of peter robinsons, he is quite good for a change.

thought I'd start one for those of us who aren't really into chick lit.  I struggle sometimes as they seem to fill the shelves of my local library.  anyway thought we could swap opinions/recommendations on this thread.  have just finished State of Fear by Michael Crichton.  I did enjoy it.  I thought it really a really intellectual read, but I felt the ending was a bit weak.
