[James Patterson]

I've just finished reading Step on a crack which was brilliant its quite similar to the Alex Cross ones but this main character has a dying wie and 10 kids

[Dean Koontz - Good and Bad?]

I am halfway through Brother Odd but I am really stuggling with it. I am not enjoying it at all, I found brother odd and forever odd ok but the 3rd one Brother Odd is terrible.

 

My favorite has to be from the corner of his eye and One door away from heaven

[Bookmarks or turned down pages or...?]

I agree whole heartidly that books need and deserve to be loved, and as a result look loved. If a book looks new to me then I feel like it hasn't acheived it's destiny, it needs to be read and bent and held and carried around - it needs to live! Lived things get crinkled around the edges!! I hate having beautifully kept books, it makes me feel sad, I'd much rather the spine was cracked and the pages rumpled; I can feel the satisfaction of the book that it has been read and truely enjoyed!! ...just think of the days when you have truely lived and enjoyed yourself, did your hair stay perfect - I think not!!...

 

I totally agree with you thats how all the books I truly enjoyed looks like

[Historical Fiction]

I love historical books, they are probably my favourite.

 

I especially like Jean Auel's Earths Children series set in the Ice Age, Nancy Mckenzie set in Medieval Times and Barbara Erskine who has mainly set her books in the Roman era but also a lot further back in time.

 

I find it really interesting to read how people used to live....

 

I've just finished reading the earths children series and I really enjoyed them even though its not really my type of books. Could you recommend anything similar?
