Due to a recent discovery, I have a question to ask. nossy Send a noteboard - 14/04/2012 03:15:57 PM
Well, probably more than one. You know me.

Do you read/enjoy mainstream, popular novels?

What authors do you think of when answering the above? I'm still not quite sure who qualifies, but I'm thinking of people like Cussler, Patterson, etc. Authors who seem to always have some best seller or another floating around.

Do you know of any who deserve the status?

I'm enjoying James Rollins, but I can't help but be ashamed of myself, because I get red flags all the time, regarding his historical, religious, govt, etc content. However, when I'm reading and enjoying, I can barely make myself care. Tis fun.

Not really, but I used to be quite keen on Wilbur Smith's Egyptian novels. Tim - 14/04/2012 04:43:22 PM 867 Views

That genre is harder to define than you'd think. Legolas - 14/04/2012 11:54:32 PM 906 Views

It looked like a pretty accurate list of books that make it big and into convenience stores, to me. Legolas - 16/04/2012 10:04:09 PM 865 Views
