Mark TwainWww@QuestionHome@Com

I am a huge James Patterson fan!. His books are fast paced and really suck you in!. He has stories for just about everyone from sci-fi (maximum ride series) to some history types (the jester) to mystery and love stories!.There's some about vampires (violets are blue) and even some with religious undertones (cradle and all)!. I won't lie thought!. Some of his books can be quite graphic but not all of them are like that!. I'd say the most graphic was The Jester!.
also I am a huge fan of Nicholas Sparks!. He has light hearted books which are normally love stories but have some mystery behind some of them!.
Another good author is Iris Johansen!. She is similar to James Patterson as far as writing styles go!. I just recently got into her so I have only read 3 books or so!. I really enjoyed them though and look forward to reading more!.
Frank Peretti is another good author!. He writes books with more of a religious undertone!. Usually I don't like books like this at all but his mysteries are so good that they don't seem to have the usual in your face religion that some authors have!. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with those they are just not for me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
