I like Steve Berry, David Baldacci and Jeffery Deaver to name a few. Most of these are thrillers which is my favorite genre. If you’re looking for something with dark humor, I would suggest Tim Dorsey Happy reading.

@Megan Fantastic series, but you’re committed for the long haul. He says it will be finished at 2 series of 5 books at ~400,000 words each, and he only just published the 3rd book of the first series. ?

Im on the train ?. I’m glad I’m young enough to know I should still be around for it to be finished. ??To be fair I would also recommend 99% of his works (especially era 1/2 Mistborn).

@Megan I love his Mistborn series more than the Stormlight Archive. Especially Wax and Wayne. So good.

@Aaron Wayne is seriously one of the funniest characters I have ever read. Era 2 is usually not my style of read, but it has been so enjoyable!

I’m finishing up the last of my Aughusten Burroughs books. I enjoy a fast and sometimes funny read. He’s quite endearing.

Fredrick Backman- Beartown, Us Against You, etc. His character developments are multi-faceted. Plots are a little more simplified than some, but with the characters you are not sure what will happen next!

Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides. It was so superbly written I stayed transfixed. Never read a book before like it, can’t explain what the genre is, but that is still one of my favorite books. I usually read mysteries, suspense, and sci-fi, so it was definitely off the beaten path for me!

@Amanda Night is amazing, the two Erik Larsen ones were excellent! The Book Thief was the first book of its kind I read and it blew me away!

The Einstein Prophecy is the latest historical thriller from award-winning author and journalist Robert Masello. It offers an intriguing mix of occult chills along with solid historical facts to create an absorbing read.

For historical fantasy with a bit of sci-fi (parallel universed and time travel) I recommend Arcadia by Iain Pears. Also, The Infinite Library by Kane X. Faucher – both books are perfect for lovers of books and literature. Another amazing and touching historical fiction novel is The Gift of Rain by Tan Twan Eng.
