For fiction I really like James Lee Burke. The Wife is a big fan of Sue Grafton

I've never been much for science-fiction but lots of people are. I think my problem has always been that the plots get to complicated for my feeble old mind. But my wife tells me that Robert A. Heinlein is one of the best.

Try one that your wife reccomends, what do you have to lose?

Robert A. Heinlein, without a doubt.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

By far, Judy Blume. She did not write many adult books but I loved them all.

Tolkien, by far. One of the most committed and thorough fantasy writers.

I also like McCaffrey and her Dragon riders of Pern series.
