Who Are Your Favorite Authors? Favorite Books?


Recommended Posts

ang pinakagasgas na linya sa MTC these days:

 

"nawala yung post/s ko?"

 

hehe

 

My favorite authors/books:

 

1. Robert Ludlum (particularly the Bourne series)

2. Tom Clancy ("Rainbow Six" is fantastic!)

3. John Le Carre

4. Stephen King

5. "Dream of Red Mansions" by Tsao Hsueh-chin and Kao Hgo

6. "Clan of the Cave Bears" by Jean M. Auel

 

 

on another note...

 

Has anyone read the Sleeping Beauty novels ("The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty," "Beauty's Punishment," and "Beauty's Release") by Anne Rice, writing as A. N. Roquelaure?

 

What's your review?

 

Frankly, the novels disappoint me, creativity-wise. Anne Rice's attempt at art and erotica seemed to barely make it to the passing mark.

 

I couldn't help but compare it with another erotica book I read, "Lauré." For the life of me, I can't remember the author's name. "Lauré" was written well and it could suspend a reader's disbelief.

 

But this is just an opinion of mine.

My favorite book is BRAVEHEART by Randall Wallace. The story is different compared to the movie entitled BRAVEHEART being performed by Mel Gibson. It gives a story of man who stands on what he believes. According to William Wallace of Braveheart – “Every man dies, not every man really lives.

 

I have also collections books of Michael Crichton, John Grisham, and Anne Rice. For my other side of life I have collections of writings and teachings of Dalai Lama and also Deepak Chopra.

You guys have got to try Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. Those 2 are great books.

 

Other authors I read are James Patterson especially with his Alex Cross books and of course Tom Clancy. Too bad patay na si Robert Ludlum, he's good as well.
