| 6. James Patterson sometimes... |

Carl Hiaasen. Sometimes King. I'm not thrilled with Grisham, although I've read a few of his that I've enjoyed. I can't say that there's any ONE author that does it for me each and every time...every one of them has their highs and lows...the highs are incredible and the lows are dreck...but it all averages out in the end.
Hopefully.
Oh...and Sue Monk Kidd for lit fic. I have to confess to just finding myself pulled in on the strength of the language alone. I could wallow in it sometimes.
I do wallow in it sometimes.
