Novelist James Patterson. Various titles but mainly the series of books with Alex Cross. A chain of books about a policeman in America called Alex Cross. Gripping
Many other Alex Cross books but my other favorite was one of his standalones called kill me if you can. Great twist.
Dan Brown, if you havent read all his books including Angels and Demons, digital fortress, the da vinci code imo you are missing out on some of the best book in history
Life of Pi. Great read.
There is a novelist called Sue townsend, I dunno why but her books keep me reading and I buy more. I can't think what genre to call them but they are basically like diaries of peoples lives, written by Sue, being the charcater.
Many more but they arethe most recent few i have read
