Have you read "Cities in Flight" Ken?
Surprised nobody mentioned Robert Heinlein yet or John Steinbeck, or Mark Twain, or Edgar Allen Poe, or Edgar Rice Borroughs.

Agatha Christie is a clasic, I have enjoyed some of her novels.
Stephen King? no way, I do not like horror.
J. Grisham has some interesting novels.

Ernest Hemingway, I have not read much of him but I would love to. In fact, I have a few of his books waiting to be read.

Historical novel would be better for me and that is what I would prefer, especialy related to ancient cultures, along with world politicsand and etc...

I might learn to really read sometime.

I like most in your list. I would add Ian Flemming and Edgar Rice Burroughs but drop Spider Robinson to make it mine.

Jack London was always one of my favs. His short stories like "To build a Fire" and "Love of Life" put you in the time and place of the main character not to mention the dire life or death situation he was in.

I love Roald Dahl, so far as fiction writers are concerned. His stories about Uncle Oswald are priceless.

As far as the classics go, Ernest Hemingway for me conversing


He laid down lines that grabbed me and made me feel like I was right there, leaving me wishing that I was, dammit.
