My taste in authors is quite varied. My all time favorite author is F. Scott Fitzgerald followed closely by John Steinbeck.
I also love Anne Rice (The Witching Hour is my favorite, then Queen of the Damned)
Pike1483, have you read Christopher Rice's (Anne's son) book, "A Density of Souls"? If not, I recommend it. It is an absorbing story and he writes very well! I was pleasantly surprised.
Alexandra Ripley is another favorite and I'll admit to a certain fondness for Danielle Steel and Judith Krantz
