Greetings, My favorite writer of all time is Stephen King. Some of my favorites by him include IT, The Stand, Salem's Lot, The Dark Tower series and Duma Key. What I like so much about King's work is not necessarily the horror content so much as his unique way of delving into the minds of his characters. He is a master at character development. As for SciFi\Fantasy, I like Philip Jose` Farmer, Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury, but I Love the writing team of Margret Weis and & Tracy Hickman. The have written many novels for the Dragonlance series, which was initially based on Dungeons & Dragons. In other genres I like Patricia Cornwell. She can keep me right on the edge of my seat. I also like William Johnstone who writes the BEST westerns. Some folks will think this silly...but some will understand. I read many books more than once...some I have read 5 times over the course of 40 years. Some of you will say...why read a book more than once...you know what happens...but, at least for me, taking the trip to the end is just as good. And it is also like revisiting old friends. I am now reading The Dark Tower series again...7 books in all. Yes, I remember the end...but the trip...WOW. And I read some of the classics over and over too...Gome With The Wind, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Time Machine and many others. I read a wide variety of books including such kids books as Trixie Belden, Nancy Drew, the Warrior Cats series by Erin Hunter and others. Two genres that I do not read are Romance and True Crime.... Well that's my little book world. Del Rev. Bailey
