Read at your own risk |
As I said - this is not exhaustive - authors I read like Jeffery Archer, Clive Cussler, E.R.Burroughs, etc as well as my non-fiction reading still have to make an appearance. That will be rectified in part two of this list - whenever I put it up . Try the books - and I hope you like them as much I do.
As an aside - I made this list using HTML - but it did not display properly in blogger. If someone wants the HTML list - drop me a line and I’ll mail it. Then I tried to make it using ordered lists - looked worse. Finally went for the easiest solution - made a table in Word and pasted it in here .
Happy Reading!
