Nolan, you have definitely come to the right place. I have made so many wonderful friends here. What are some of your favorite books or authors?

[Christine]

Nolan wrote: "@Christine Do you have any favorite books or authors in particular?"

I love mysteries and thrillers, Nolan. I have a lot of favs, including Brian Freeman, S.J. Bolton, Tess Gerritsen. I love the dark ones. I also like indie writers. Margaret Atwood is one on your list that I'm anxious to get to--do you have a fav or hers, Nolan?

Nolan

welcome to the group, we try our best to make all our members spend their hard earned money on great books.

We are a great friendly lot here

Because she is an icon and I have read nothing of hers!

[Kirsten]

I love Margaret Atwood! My favorite is The Handmaid's Tale, but I have also read Surfacing, Oryx and Crake, and The Year of the Flood. Really hope to get to MaddAddam soon.

[Christine]

Soon!

[Sean, Moderator]

Brian Freeman is great.

We(I) as a group read and loved The Bone House, Immoral is also great

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Welcome.

[Kirsten]

@Nolan - I think it matters where you are in reference to your stand on women's rights and religion. I find it very relevant to today's world. But I've seen others that find it dry and improbable.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Checked and saw we have a "few" books in common.

:)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Wow....maybe you should check my profile for my favorite's shelf, LOL.

J.R.R.Tolkien, Elizabeth Moon (her Paksenarrion books), Mark Greaney, Jim Butcher, Benedict Jacka...Then of course there are books rather than authors.

[Kirsten]

How about David Weber or Jack McDevitt?

[Mike (the Paladin)]

I liked Webber well enough when I read the first HH novel. I burned out on the series rather badly though. I don't know if they got weaker or if I just (as I said) burned out on it.

I only read one book by McDevitt and didn't really get into it so I never followed it up...

Matter of taste. We won't all agree on each book.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

All the favorites never jump to mind.

Hi Carl, Marsha welcome.

Carl, have you tried Michael Connelly?

[Carl]

Yes indeed. I love his book the Lincoln lawyer. That was the first I ever read I think. Stunning. I actually have a load of his books at the moment from my local library

[[deleted user]]

I would recommend the Scarecrow by him Carl if you have that book!

Hmmm. I have seen it around but not read it yet. Will check it out. Thanks!

Hi Carl, I like your taste in authors. I had the pleasure of meeting William Kent Krueger and Brian Freeman yesterday at separate events. Both extremely nice people. Bought books and got autographs. Got to talk to both. A real thrill.

[Christine]

Welcome, Masha. I am really jealous as you have another 80 years or so to read tons of books!!!

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, welcome Carl and Masha! Enjoy the group!

[Masha]

Thank you Lavada, Dawn, Christine, and Janet! And yes, I hope the next 80 years of my life will be filled with books, haha :)

[Sean, Moderator]

Welcome Masha,

Love Canada, you will love the recommendations

[Masha]

Thank you, Sean!! :)

[Mike (the Paladin)]

By the way Masha...sorry I put "Marsha". Oops.

[Masha]

Haha, that's alright :)

[Carl]

Thanks everyone. Yes Christine, it's really good to meet the authors that you enjoy reading.

[Markus]

Hi All,

I grew up in Scotland in the 50s and 60s - so my earliest reading was authors like John Buchan, Alistair Maclean and Hammond Innes before I moved onto the likes of Ian Fleming, John Le Carre, Len Deighton, Ken Follet, Frederick Forsyth, John Gardner and Gavin Lyall. I live in Los Angeles now - a place where you need to dive into a good thriller every so often to escape the insanity!

[Sean, Moderator]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for joining, I know you will enjoy it here, I also like members who love good old classic noir films, enjoyed many Alistair Maclean films and read all the books.

Hope you enjoy it here, another movie friend is here in Tom who joined yesterday.
