I’ve posted this on a chat thread, but it wasn’t well received.
Perhaps it most likely belongs on this great thread:

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (Online Audio Books)

johnaustin123: I've read every Lawrence Sanders book that he has ever written...the Archie series was always my favorite, it continued after Lawrence passed away with a different author.

Kellerman; Jonathan or Faye? They are married. I've read all of those also.

Jonathan is a real life child Physiologist and he explores true life Adventures that he has experienced into the depth of true life and fiction.

Jonathan Kellerman - Obsession

Hi JAustin, did you ever read any Stuart Woods novels, the Stone Barrington series, and Holly Barker series, alot like Laurence Sanders books, very light reading and good to read after getting through a more heavy read.
I read Cussler and Baldacchi, Steve Martini, Mark Giminez, Coonts to name a few.

Ohhhh yes KauriMan

Stuart Woods is in my top 5 list of authors. It's been about 3 years since I've read from him, so I'm not caught up on the recent books.

amahlala: What are some of your favorite authors or novels/novellas that you reserve for your summer reading or holiday reading?

Do you re-read certain books or genre's?
I mostly like true life stories by famous people.

I love to read Biographies. I’ve read all of The Beatles, Rolling Stones and I’ve read every book about all of the US Presidents. I picked up a new book this week about the life of Judy Garland…such a tragic and troubled life she lived. It’s been difficult to put the book down because it’s so interesting.

I've also been reading about women of history, very interesting and at times eye-opening.
