Favorite fiction

It is very difficult for me to choose a favorite book as I have many. It really depends on the kind of mood I am in. I have a pretty eclectic taste when it comes to reading...well actually with everything. I can however, share a few of the books and authors that I have enjoyed or enjoy reading. I love almost all Stephen King, Clive Barker, Dean Koontz, James Patterson, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, David Baldacci, Charlaine Harris, John Grisham and Anne Rice (a middle and High school favorite). I could go on, but as you can see I tend to lean towards the suspense/thriller categories. I enjoy fantasy/adventure as well as some drama.

Welcome to the Monkey House by Kurt Vonnegut is one of the first books i remember truly enjoying. Its a collection of short stories that basically have a common theme of human nature in society. It is an older book, some stories were written in the '50s I believe, but the book was put together in the late '60s.

I also enjoyed reading Wally Lamb's, This Much I Know is True. It's about a gentleman's struggle through life having to deal not only with his own life's trial's and tribulation's but also having to care for his twin brother who was declared schizophrenic. While going through all this he is reading his grandfathers autobiography and learning a great deal about himself and his mother. There is definitely plenty of drama to keep you interested in this one.

When the Wind Blows by James Patterson is a great Science fiction novel. A recently small town widowed veterinarian and FBI agent who is on leave, discover a group of mutated children that have wings, 200 year life spans and are extremely intelligent. The whole experiment was backed by the US Government and has ties that hit close to home. Frannie and Kit help the children escape and eventually find their true parents. The Lake House is a sequel to this book, but I have not had the chance to finish reading it as of yet.
