Favorite Books/Authors????

[Kaylee Meisenheimer]

Lay them on me ya'll. Tell me your favorite authors and books. I desperately need to get new books. I've read all the books in my room a million times. I know every line and plot. Be respectful, please.

My faves, and let me tell you, totally different spectrums. Absolute fave author/ series is Diana Gabaldon and the outlander series and all the spinoffs. Second fave is the Mark Tufo Zombie series. Third fave A American Going Home series. I have a few more.
But what is your fave, I need new reading material as well.

All of these are Christian fiction:

Definitely Chesterton, Father Brown is great but his essays are also a hoot, also highly recommend The Man Who Was Thursday, Orthodoxy, and The Everlasting Man.

Anything by CS Lewis is a good read.

JRR Tolkien for Lord of the Rings

LM Montgomery with the Anne books, Emily of New Moon is good, my personal favorite is The Blue Castle.

Anything by Jane Austen.

A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens), Les Miserables (try the medium length abridged version, Victor Hugo), Jane Eyre (Brontë), Little Women (Alcott), Ivanhoe (Scott) are all great reads, and many of these can even be found free on project Gutenberg as ebooks.

I end up rereading many of these, as I can’t find a modern author I truly enjoy and want to finish the book/series, which is sad.

Non-fiction: Anything by either of these, doesn't matter what subject, because their writing is that good (to me):
Michael Pollan
Bill Bryson

Fiction: I've read a lot by:
Jeffery Deaver
Jonathan Kellerman
Reginald Hill
Rex Stout

I like to jump around a lot. But, currently I'm reading Agatha Christie's Poirot books. James Patterson is also an author I love. I really love fictional books and mystery.

When I would only read children's books, I ended up rereading all of them. Except the Nancy Drew books. I loved her but the mystery was already figured out and I couldn't reread it again. Which definitely made me very sad. My mom really likes Jane Austen, so I might go ask if I can steal some of them.

 

[Chicken Heel]

I loved The Black Stallion series of books by Walter Farley as a kid in the 1960's; "The Odyssey" by Homer, "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte and "The Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien were my favorite reads in college in the early 1980's. Since college I have not read as much due to work, raising chickens, and now turkeys as well which requires much of my "free" time.
