Who's your favourite authors (novelists)?

[angelinsydney]

Mine are mostly Brits and action heroes - Andy McNab, Duncan Falconer, Michael Asher and Chris Ryan. Non action hero Jeffrey Archer.

One Aussie author, Matthew Reilly. Highly recommended - fun cracking read, his books.

I used to love the classics when I was younger but now all I want to read are adventure, thrillers. Bit of an escape.

 

[McBain]

Haven't read a good book since 'the bible 2' - the christening

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Salman Rushdie

If Autobiog's are in , aside from Ustinov / Niven essentials , Clive James is also exceedingly witty .
Your Man , Fry , he of Planet Sized Brain , would also be decent I would suggest .

Some highbrow, heavy stuff here. Anyone read the latest Katie Price book??

Robert Harris is one person i'm liking at the minute. Fatherland, Archangel, Pompeii, Enigma to name a few. Great stories with accurate historical facts..
