Give me a good steamy vampire book (Laurell K Hamilton, Christine Feehan, Anne Rice) or a decent crime drama (John Sandford, Stuart Woods) any day! During the 10 days that we were in Mexico this summer, I managed to chew through 6 or 7 books.
My favorite book ever is probably "The Hunt for Red October". As far as authors go, I like Tom Clancy, but most of his books are just too long for me. For fun, I used to like to read Richard Marcinko's "Rogue Warrior" books, though they just got too cheesy towards the later ones.
