Especially on vacations. Kel Send a noteboard - 17/04/2012 01:03:31 PM
Do you read/enjoy mainstream, popular novels?

Yes, especially when on a vacation (to the beach and the like)

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.

I usually read some kind of baseball-related book around this time each year, and for different trips I tend to read light books like Grisham. I count Shaara in this category too.

Sitting on a beach, I don't like to have to think too much. There's always too many distractions anyway, with the kidlets.

Not really, but I used to be quite keen on Wilbur Smith's Egyptian novels. Tim - 14/04/2012 04:43:22 PM 866 Views

That genre is harder to define than you'd think. Legolas - 14/04/2012 11:54:32 PM 905 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 864 Views

You may have to get more specific about the authors you're thinking of, then. *NM* Legolas - 16/04/2012 10:05:05 PM 344 Views
