Steve Alten

Jim Butcher

Alan Campbell

Orson Scott Card

Crichton

Colfer

Frank Herbert (And Herbert Jr.'s fan fiction)

Brian Jacques

Dean Koontz

Tolkien

Lovecraft

And more.

Jim Butcher is such a good author. Love the Dresden files to death.

I stopped like halfway through the series. I stopped right after he was kidnapped by Maeve. I gotta start that series again.

Gets even better.

Cant say anything for fear of spoilers.

I just finished Crichton's Andromeda Strain which I thought was nice. I've read most books through Audible over the past five years or so, so I only get hardcopies of the selection out of that that I am most likely to refer back to. I don't really reread books ever, but I do leaf through them from time to time.

Andromeda Strain is one of my annual rereads.

I like to do that and The Hot Zone back-to-back right at the beginning of Summer.
