Its all a taste thing really (I don't like Angels and Demons for instance.)
But I really like:
Post Office by Charles Bukowski
We need to talk about Kevin by lionel Shriver
The Famous Waltzer (cant remember the autor)
and
Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse
For a light hearted read the five peopl eYou meet in heaven is quite good.
I also found Karen Armstrongs History of God eye openinmg if a little heavy going for a summers day

Love a good murder 
psychological thriller, forensic jobbie and anything with serial killers, so I'll rush out and get anything by Michael Connolly, James Patterson, both of the Kellermans, Patricia Cornwell ( although the Scarpetta series has become pretty bad ) and my favourite, Harlan Coben.
I am a self confessed ignoramus when it comes to history ( all I seem to have learned from my history class was stone age tools ) and so am trying, also, to read a few history books on the side.

karin slaughter is my favourite author right now, i also love the mother/daugher writing team pj tracy, and the jeffrey deaver "lincoln rhyme" series is great too...i dont read half as much as i want to these days...im on here too much!
I generally read factual books but when on holiday or relaxing I like to read anything about medical examiners or pathology etc.
I must have read all of Patricia Cornwell's books at least twice.
Martina Cole also writes a gritty story.
yeh i have a penchant for the pathologist/criminologist too, i have to say ive tried patricia cornwell but not been able to get ino her so to speak ahem is there one youd recomend?
I'm a big Cornwell fan - the one I'd recommend is the Body Farm, but you're far batter to read the whole series in order to follow the path of Scarpetta. They do get a bit 'more twists than a spiral perm' the more recent the publishing - I was very dissapointed with Predator after having to wait 6 moths to read it
but I still love her books. Nicki French also writes in this genre but imo her books a patch on the pathology insight Cornwell has.
Ok .. best book I've read recently is
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova (bit of an Epic and slow to start but brilliant nonetheless)
closely followed by
The Righteous Men by Sam Bourne (much better than Dan Brown)
Honeymoon by James Patterson
Brand New Friend by Mike Gayle
The Geographers Library by Jon Fasman (just didn't grab my attention enough, it's a good read but extremely long going)
Currently reading
Eragon by Christopher Paolini

I read Angelas ashes whilst on holiday at christmas & loved it.
Before that it was the absolutely brilliant, moving Billy by Pamela Stephenson.
Before that was The Hitchikers Guide books- I love Douglas Adams but have run out of his books!
Most recently was the His Dark Materials trilogy. They may be aimed at youngsters but I loved them!
If anyone can recommend anything that might keep me occupied for the 3 week camp fest we have planned......feel free!
Going on this thread I think I may try some Terry Pratchett.
