[> [> J. California Cooper and James Baldwin. But JCC is by far my absolute fave...her books are filled with humor and sadness and great life lessons. Pick up 'Family' and 'Homemade Love'. -- Joy, 19:42:19 07/30/02 Tue

she also has a new book, three short stories. I can't think of the name right now, but it's true JCC.

[> Right now I am hooked on Michael Malone. Can you believe it? His books are being distributed again. I just read two novels involving his characters Cuddy and Justin. I can see now why one of my favorite times on OLTL was when he was HW. -- Cathi, 13:24:24 08/02/02 Fri

[> [> [> Finally! I have been fairly busy and haven't had time to get back to you. So far I've read Uncivil Seasons and Time's Witness. I enjoyed Uncivil more than Time's Witness. Currently I am reading Handling Sin. Handling Sin is hilarious in some places. -- Cathi, 22:18:49 08/15/02 Thu

I love Greg Isles. One of the books I read a long time ago called 24 Hours will be a movie called "Trapped" with starring Kevin Bacon & Charlize Theron. The book is excellent as well as all of his other books.

By far my favorite is Stephen King. His writing is all interconnected. He mixes romance, adventure, mystery, fantasy, reality, horror all together. He IS a legend imho. Can't wait for the last of the Dark Tower series to be released.

It is varied, but it is all connected somehow or another in one huge, vast, varied universe. The Green Mile, The Dark Tower Series, The Talisman, Black House, Eye of the Dragon are all my favorite King books. I'd never have the patience to read The Stand (although it is one of King's best works I'm told). King is more than best-selling author, he is a writer who takes inspiration from J.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Ring series and a Robert Browing (?) poem Childe Rolande and the Dark Tower (?).

[> [> [> [> Oh Missy, you MUST read The Stand. In fact, I highly recommend the uncut version he published years later. He added back in, like 1,000 pages they made him cut when it was first published. It is my all-time favorite SK book. I have read it several times. -- ladyday, 00:25:59 07/13/03 Sun

I know!! It ties into the Dark Tower books so I'm sure I'll eventually read it like next summer or something (during school I am much too busy to read long books like that). Thanks for recommending it and letting me know it's worth reading.
