So here goes my list (which is whatever comes to mind first – including authors I like) and I’m hopefully going to avoid the ones I already have listed in a previous post ‘Books & Beyond’
1/ Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. I love the authors’ writing style and the main character. I’ve read about 15 or so books by this author and its great to follow the main character through his adventures.
2/ Any book by John Grisham. I grew up reading his books and really enjoy his writing style. The criminal cases, the court systems, learning bits & bobs about the law. My favourites include A Time To Kill, The Client and The Chamber.
3/ Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. I love love love the series. I want to go to Hogwarts. I want a magic wand, a time turner; but most of all I want the invisible cloak (it would be so much fun!). Oooh how I wish the magical world of Hogwarts really existed !
4/ Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. Damn it took me a few minutes to recollect that, not to mention some help from NB and Google !
It’s actually criminal (not to mention super hard!) to just have to list just 4 books !! Now I feel crappy because I don’t have all my books nor do I remember all the authors I have enjoyed in the past.
Oh well – guess this is the motivation I need to build up the book collection again !

1. Isaac Asimov- The Robots of Dawn: The book that sent me cartwheeling down the Science Fiction Road. Sure, I'd watched Star Trek and Star Wars before I read this, but this fascinating treatment of the failure of interstellar colonisation out of sheer laziness brought about by the abundance of robot labour was, well, fascinating.
2. Erle Stanley Gardner- Perry Mason / The Case of the Bigamous Spouse: I read this 1940s pulp novel when I was 7 and had trouble understanding what bigamy is. Probably much of my cynicism can be traced to this book.
3. Arthur C. Clarke- The City and The Stars: This book is set billions of years in the future and mankind is still around. A cautionary tale about xenophobia and environment destruction on a galactic scale coupled with the force that drives man to attempt to live forever.
4. Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle- Footfall: A terrifying tale of alien invasion written by scientific thinkers and not Hollywood stooges.
Honourable mentions:
Isaac Asimov: The Foundation Saga
Poul Anderson: The Avatar (no, not the movie)
E. E. 'Doc' Smith: Grey Lensman

2. Midnight by jacquline wilson - I used to love Jacquline Wilson when I was younger and Midnight is one of my all time favorites by her.
3. My Sister's Keeper
4. The House of Night series by PC & Kristen Cast - it was introduced to me by one of my besties, Peru. at first when she told me to read it, I was kinda hesitant coz it was about Vampires..... Coz twilight sucked. but after reading the first books, totally fell in love. but, twilight still sucks.
I could go on and on about my fav books. 4 is such a tiny number when I comes to books :(

Isn't Sisters Keeper also a movie ? Must find the book and give it a read and also check out this House of Night series. I think NB (@nbedi) has it on her book-shelf - will give it a borrow :)
