I have a deep love for the Narnia books and Harry Potter.

I'm sure I'll be able to add to this list as more come to mind. But initially the following would make the grade, limiting myself to one boko per featured author:

Looking For Alibrandi – Melina Merchetta

And Then There Were None – Agatha Christie

The Hobbit – J.R.R. Tolkien

The Firm – John Grisham

Seven Ancient Wonders – Matthew Reilly

Jurassic Park – Michael Crichton

Like Anyanka, I love the Harry Potter books, although, for some reason, I could never get into the Narnia books. But my favourite childrens book is The Wind in the Willows.

Daphne Du Maurier is my favourite adult fiction writer, and Rebecca is my favourite book. I also love Dickens. A Tale of Two Cities always makes me cry!

I loved those as well. Did you ever read the Sparhawk trilogies?

Not as good as Anne's, but that is a very high standard, so they're still good.
