I mostly read fiction, and I devour several books each week. Thrillers comprise the bulk of my reading addiction, but I have favorite series and authors spanning a variety genres. There is not enough space to list all of my favorite authors, but my short list includes Steve Berry, Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child, James Rollins, John Sanford, Daniel Silva, James Patterson, George R.R, Martin (will he EVER release the next book), Dean Koontz, Michael Crichton, Harlen Coben, Jeaffery Deaver, J.A. Jane, David Stone, Iris Johansen, Vince Flynn, Catherine Coulter, Sandra Brown, Stuart Woods, Patricia Cornwell, Bernard Cornwell, Ken Follett, Tess Geritssen, Jonathan Kellerman, Ted Dekker, Nelson Demille, Brad Thor, Scott Turrow, Anne Rice, Phillippa Gregory, Nora Roberts, Sharon Kay Penman, Diana Gabaldon, Stephanie Meyer, and Charlaine Harris. The profile requires me to limit my favorite books and authors to five choices apiece. What an impossible undertaking!
