All my favorite authors are dead but I would suggest anything by Andrew Greeley!
Horror? Then choose “The Oubliette,” by Vanta M. Black! Go to her site. It is cheaper than Amazon, free shipping, and she signs it!
My must read books are choosing books from other countries so you see through foreign eyes. Of course I do run an online book club which reads books from other countries so I may be biased. 😉
Heavens Coast by Mark Doty
The Stonewylde Series by Kit Berry. Without sounding too melodramatic, these books changed my life. I realised that there were other people who believed similar things to me and I have made so many friends through reading the books ?
1. By Agatha Christie – And Then There Were None, A Murder is Announced, Death on the Nile, Ordeal of Innocence…akk mysteries of course. 2. One Hundred Years of Solitude (translated from Spanish) Gabriel Garcia Marquez – not a mystery. The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom- true story WWII, The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and back to mysteries…’cause that is mostly what I read… I’d recommend The Nine Tailors by Dorothy Sayers, The Woman in White AND The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, Rebecca b Daphne du Maurier, The Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Peters, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley, Medicus by Ruth Downie, The Unquiet Bones by Melvin Starr, The Cater Street Hangman by Anne Perry, Murder with Peacocks by Donna Andrews, If I’d Killed Him When I Met Him by Sharyn McCrumb…that should get ya started
Master & Commander-Patrick O`Brian
Last night I sang to the monster and Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz, the cutting room by Jilliane hoffman, How I lost you by Jenny Blackhurst

I don’t have must reads for other people. However, I do have books I really enjoyed – but I would never say you “must” read it.

The Troll’s Grindstone – Elizabeth Boyer
Cadre One – Robert O’Riordan
The Giver – Lois Lowry
The Graceling series by Kristin Cashore ?
