1. Brian L. Weissman: His book "Many Lives, Many Masters" is FABULOUS and will give you a lot to think about after you read it. He also has other books that are equally as amazing but you have to start with that one.
2. Stieg Larsson: He is wrote "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl who Played with Fire", and "The Girl who kicked the Hornet's Nest". These books are great reads, very interesting, engaging, and fun to read.
3. Ishmael Beah: He wrote the book "A Long Way Gone". This is one of my all time favorite books right now. It is a memoir of his experience as a boy soldier. Here is the website to check out more about it http://www.alongwaygone.com/
4. J. Maarten Troost: He has a few books as well, my favorite is "Getting Stoned with Savages" about his time traveling the through the south pacific.
5. Clive Cussler: He writes many adventure series books about treasure discovery and exploration. They are all easy reads but entertaining and I have never loved one his books. The movie "Sahara" was based off one of his books but I assure you the books are much better than that movie if you saw it.
Those would be the 5 authors I suggest reading, you will not go long. Also, if you are an avid reader you should join the site www.goodreads.com. You can connect with other people and friends to see books they are reading and how they reviewed them, as well as doing that yourself. Enjoy the books!

Thankyou! :)
As for putting links in your answers, I would be terrible if I tried to explain to you how to do that, but it is very easy so I think your best bet would be to post a question here asking how to do it and someone else will give you a good response :)
Of course. It will be my pleasure. Gregory David Roberts wrote a wonderful book called Shantaram. It's based on his true story, and takes place in India. Jeffery Deaver writes the Lincoln Rhyme crime thriller books, some have been made into films, but here's a recent one The Broken Window. Jeffrey Archer is a best selling English author, and I have just finished his book, A Prisoner of birth. Ken Follett has written many Spy and thriller stories, his most famous was The Eye of the Neddle, but have just read recently Night over Water. He also wrote Pillars of the Earth). Michael Connelly is also a thriller, crime writer, here is a good one of his, The Scarecrow. So here are a few to go on with, you can also check out their websites. I don't know how to put links, or pictures on my answers, as I am a fairly new and self taught computer user! I am so jealous of all those great additions people add to their answers!! Hope you get to read some of these great authors, some may not be to your taste, but sure you will enjoy most of them! Good luck, and always keep your love for books, they are our friends! Bye for now.
I'm embarassed to say I haven't heard of any of them! Maybe you could reccommend a book by each of them for me to read?
2. Jackie Collins- trashy romance with wretched excess, whats not to like?
3. Lisa Scottoline- tightly wound thrillers with beleivable characters.
4, Lutisha Lovely- fiction with a Christian slant that is wildly entertaining.
5. Ashley and JaQuavis- a pair who writes fast paced urban literature that is un-put-downable

M$Another one of my favorite authors is the non-fiction writer Ann Rule. Rule is a former police detective who has spent the last 20 years writing true crime stories about the most intriguing cases in America. I also like Sarah Waters and Vladimir Nabokov.

Agreed @falcon18! I watched the version of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" with the Swedish subtitles, and the reading got frustrating, but the movie was still great. The book was even better in my opinion. For anyone that can find a version of this movie in English, snatch it up while you can.
The girl with the dragon tattoo has been made in to a film. I read the second book, the girl who kicked the hornets nest, it was great. Trying to get the third one now. He is a very unusual writer, enjoyed both books.By the way, the film is Swedish, but found one dubbed in English.
Thankyou, what a great detailed answer :)
I'll be looking all of these up at some point, I'm on a book hunt right now because I've read everything I have and I don't want to start reading things I'm not really interested in just because it's the only option.
2. J. K. Rowling
3. John Grisham
4. Dan Brown
5. Sidney Sheldon
