Are you a reader? What kind of books do you like? Who are your favourite authors?
I am a pretty omnivorous reader. I will read most things, except for erotica, horror and paranormal. I particularly like historical fiction, and I enjoy a good crime novel or thriller. On the non-fiction side I like to read about history, science, health, other cultures.
Some of my favourite authors are Philippa Gregory, Wilbur Smith, Maeve Binchy, Jeffrey Archer and John Grisham.

@silvermist I like how the characters reappear in most books although maybe not in leading roles.

@JudyEv I think Quentins and Heart and Soul had more recurring characters,I think.

I mostly read textbooks, not novels.
I like reading books about psychology, astronomy, medicine, and more.
I also like reading the World Almanac, as they have information about so many topics.

@Tina30219 Undoubtedly. I am taking a week's holiday after Easter, which will probably add another 5 or 6 books to the list.

I am an avid reader, and I love reading every night before I go to bed. I'll read just about anything, but I love reading horror and paranormal stories (haha, the opposite of you), and also love reading self-help and business books. I love reading because a good book can suck you right into the story.

I have read so many books I cannot remember to tell you which author I liked. I have read John Grisham books and Jeffrey Archer books and Maeve Binchy books too and like all of those authors and more.

I like reading books but I am not really particular with the authors. As long as the book suits my fancy and catches my interest, I will read it.
