I love only three authors. One is Dan Brown, other is Chetan Bhagat and finally Robin sharma. I have read all the novels of Dan brown except the Lost Symbol which i will buy soon. I have read almost all the books of chetan bhagat and robin sharma too. I like the Da Vinci Code in Dan brown's novels. I loved the Man who sold his Ferrari from Robin Sharma and Three idiots novel from chetan bhagat collection. I am sure many of you have read these novels too. I like the way these authors write their novels. I like Hardy boys when i was young. They have a different style and i feel involved a lot in these novels. Share your thoughts on the same.

Yes I also love novels. But for me, any author would do just as long as I like the storyline of the book. Most of time, I read love stories but I get bored at it that almost every book has the same story so I try to read new kinds like mysteries or crime.

I enjoy reading novels. Fiction is a great way to pass the time. you can lose yourself in a great novel. Stephen King and Danielle steele are authors i can really lose myself in.

I love novels! :) My favorite authors are Robin McKinely and Francine Rivers. But I also like a lot of Lori Wick and I've read Gabrielle Zevin's two novels. They're all so wonderful. I think that novels and books of poetry are what I mostly read :)

I only like Rick Riordan's novels. Percy Jackson's series are so great and interesting. I'm looking for the Da Vinci Code novel, but I'm afraid I won't have the time to read it whereas my time's already been depleted for studies. maybe I'll find some time. Do you like Rick Riordan's novels??

Yes, of course. And Jane Austin is one of the authors I like. I also read bookings by other authors in different nations. Some are native writers, some Japaness, some American. Reading novel is an enjoyable thing for me to do. Sometimes I'd like to spend the whold day in the book store and reading.

WOW...... what a coincident.. I happen to have read the same books too.. and these are the same authors that I like too... even the hardy boys... As a kid I liked it more than other such as the famous five.... I am not a frequent reader and don't usually read novels.. but when I read Dan Brown's The deception point I like it a lot and then lost symbol too.. I have also read The monk who sold his Ferrari and the lost symbol too.. Chetan Bhagat's the story of my marriage is the only I read.

I love to read and read hundreds of novels. I have never heard of Chetan Bhagat and Robin Sharma but I have read four of Dan Brown's books - I enjoyed the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons but did not enjoy Digital Fortress and the Lost Symbol and I don't really think that Brown is that good of an author. I do enjoy reading most forms of novels - I adore the classical ones like the Brontes, Hardy, Dickens, Jan Austin etc but my favourite ever book is Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. For thrillers I don't think they get much better than those written by Harlon Coben, he really is the type of author that keeps you mesmerised from start to finish of the book.

I read many novels too but among many authors which I've read some of their novels, my favourites are Cecelia Ahern and Phillip Pullman. I can't really remember all the title of the novels but I did enjoy reading them so much. I also like Hardy boys when I was young. I don't read much nowadays anymore due to busy life but whenever I have time to relax, reading is of course first thing I would do if I don't go on mylot instead

i'm fond of reading novels too. from thriller..to suspense..to historical romance..to contemporary novels. Stephen King is one of my favorites. I've read a lot of his works. I also love Julie Garwood. Reading helps me to be knowledgeable. However, i do not have the luxury of time like I used to have before. When I have time, I will still choose reading over other hobbies.

I sooo love Dan Brown. Have you read any Sydney Sheldon novels. They're also great.There's something about reading a good book that makes the experience worth it.

Yes, anything and everything Sci-Fi, and last night I met Ray Bradbury in Pomona. That was sweet. Ray Bradbury is the writer of the literary masterpiece Fahrenheit 451.

Hi Xorticanz, I always have a good book that I'm reading. I read a lot of books that are recommended to me by others. If I run out of reading material then I go to the library and I'll take out a few books that sound good. That way if they aren't as good as they sounded it is no big deal but every now and again , I will find a new amazing author that I hadn't heard of. Recently, I read the Clan of the Cave bear series that my boss suggested. It would not have been a book that I would of looked at and picked up but he was right...it was amazing!!

Yep. I love reading a lot. My favorite authors are John Grisham who wrote "The Street Lawyer" which I think is one of his best. I like James Patterson, too! I have a collection of his books but my best pick is "Kiss the Girls". It was about a man who abducts a woman who has become a subject of his obsession. Too bad that I am too busy these days that I don't have time to read anymore. I am currently reading David Baldacci's Total Control and Absolute Power.

I have read some novels. I havn't read any books in a long time,because quit frankly, I don't have time, and most novels just come out in movies anyways, and yes I know some movies are different from the books. Books I've read and liked would have to be "Eragon", and its ssequals. "The Lord of the Rings" series. I like action, fantasy based books, but I also like many other types of books. As a kid I read a bunch of C. R. Books, an author who writes about playing sports. If I knew how to get published and everything, I would write a book or two.
