Need Additional Authors for Reading Entertainment

[darvon]

I love to read novels. But I don't like all authors. I have read out my authors and need to find some more.

So I would like to list my 4 current faves and if some of them overlap yours and you have another in that "type" that you like, please suggest it.


Tom Clancy
Jim Butcher
John Scalzi
Larry Niven


Also do you know of some website that extrapolates book tastes?

There might be a better one, but librarything.com allows you to catalogue what you've read and does give recommendations supposedly based on what you like.

Ender's Game -- Orson Scott Card (don't read anything else by the guy, though, he completely loses his discipline in later books.)

I have to assume you've done Asmimov, one way or another.

Barry Eisler has a nice series with an assassin called John Rain.

Patrick Robinson (techno-thrillers, lots of Navy stuff - check out "Nimitz Class" then "HMS Unseen", great story over two books)
Vince Flynn (Mitch Rapp as a combination of Jack Ryan & Mr. Clark)
Thomas Perry ("The Butcher's Boy" is a must read)
John Sandford (The "Prey" novels with Lucas Davenport are great. "Rules of Prey" is 1st in the series.) The Virgil Flowers series is good as well.
Brad Meltzer
Harlan Coben
David Hosp
Stuart Woods

Also, check out Carl Hiaasen. "Skinny Dip" will leave you in tears of joy it's so funny. "Stormy Weather" is excellent as well.

For good reviews and categorization of books check out audible.com. It's an audiobook site, but the reviews are good, informative and easily found and the site format is very well set up for browsing different genres.

Done IA.

Please tell me you have read Detroit's own Elmore Leonard. If not, check out one called Tishimingo Blues. That's Dutch at his best.
