Tony Hillerman is my top fave!!!
Followed by (in no particular order):
Much of Stephen King
Much of Anne McCaffrey
Gustave Flaubert
Stuart Woods
Kurt Vonnegut
Some of Tom Stoppard
Some of Richard Adams
Much of C.S. Lewis
J.R. Tolkien (when I have enough brain power to read prose that dense)
F. Paul Wilson (Go Repairman Jack!!!)
Colleen McCullough
Jean Craighead George
Elliot Roosevelt
Very Little of Dean Koontz (Go Odd Thomas!!!)
Many more but all I can think of right off the bat. I can think of more I
don't care for than do...
