I don't know if anyone else has posted this already ..
Anyone like to read crime? I love crime novels :) Don't mind a bit of romance now and then, but Crime is my thing.
My fave crime authors ..
Ian Rankin . Peter Robinson
Not many I know .. But I haven't had much time to read lately.
Ian Rankin likes Progressive rock :) and rock music. He always mentions The Stones in his novels, and Floyd.

I have a weakness for spy novels myself. I read all of Tom Clancy's stuff, then found Vince Flynn 3 months ago and read 4 of his books back to back.

Rowling is a very good writer who proves that a fertile imagination is the rarest commodity on earth today.

They're not fun anymore... and I'm 16 mind you... 
I don't like the fairytaleness of it all... I love fantasy, but a bit more hard edged... and with a naughty sense of humor
Thats why I love Andrzej Sapkowski (polish fantasy writer - one of the best in the world!
