Poe is a good choice.

I like David Baldacci and Greg Iles.

James Patterson wrote the Alex Cross books.

I used to read a lot of the Mary Higgins Clark books. After a while, I could figure them out quickly, though, so I stopped. Maybe I'll start again, since it's been a long time.

I also like a lot of the fun chick lit books. Sophie Kinsella and Meg Cabot, just to name a couple of the authors.

Yes, thank you! I hate it when names slip my mind. I became that way over Danielle Steel's books, I took a creative writing class and ever since then I can't stand her writing. Which is too bad, because her stories were pretty good, just badly told. I discovered a really amazing author the other day, Meg Gardner. Reading her novel was like watching an action movie, she's just that good.

If anyone is looking for some good horror reads, I recommend Richard Laymon- warning though, his books are very graphic. He's a great fast read, very entertaining:

The Traveling Vampire Show
Island
The Stake
Blood Games
In The Dark
Night In The Lonesome October

are some of my favorites of his.





Jack Ketchum, he's also graphic.

The Girl Next Door
Red
The Lost

His Dead River series-

Off Season, Hide And Seek, Offspring, and The Woman(co-written by director Lucky McKee)

I enjoy mysteries/thrillers a lot. The reason I like David Baldacci so much is that he's from this area, so most of his books take place in and around DC. I'm always looking for good suggestions for mysteries/thrillers.

As well as suggestions for chick lit, as those are just fun and easy to read.

I agree about Laymon, he's a good writer. I finished one of the Beast House books a couple weeks ago, I enjoyed it.

The Beast House books are good, the only book of his I read so far that I didn't like was The Lake, it felt rushed. I read Savage for the first time recently. Basically it's Jack the Ripper ends up in the Old West. I enjoyed it, kind of a horror western.
