There are several favorites of mine but I haven't read a book in a while.
When I was in my teens, I loved reading V.C. Andrew's books (Most of you will know her as an author for the book "Flower in the Attic" which was made into a movie).
I also do like reading any of Danielle Steele's and Mary Higgings Clark's books.
For you women - I'd recommend you to read the book "A girl's night out" written by Stef Ann Holm. It's a heartwarming story but also funny too.
As for John Grisham's books - I like reading them. I've read The Client, Pelican Brief (the book was of course alot more detailed than it portrayed in the movie) and most of all, my favorite of his is The Rainmaker.
Oh Oh and I can't also forget this - This is my all time favorite, "Anne and the Green Gables" written by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
