Top Fiction BooksTop Fiction Authors And Their NovelsWelcome to my best Top Fiction Books: all about the best fiction books to read for fun and relaxation John Lescroart's THE KEEPER is out - don't miss it. So many authors are well worth following - here is a list of some I highly recommend that I have read over the last year or so. MICHAEL CONNELLY'S latest Mickey Haller novel check it out - "THE GODS OF GUILT" ORSON SCOTT CARD HAS REVISITED ENDERS WORLD - WITH HIS PREHISTORY OF THE FORMIC WARS - see his page and go for it. RAYMOND E FEIST has done it - now published is his "MAGICIAN'S END" ..... GREAT READ AND SAD TO SEE THE CYCLE CONCLUDE. CLICK HERE FOR THE LATEST RECOMMENDED READS This is a personal perspective about my favourite authors of the best fiction today…… those whom I consider above average, yet accessible to a wide variety of readers. Included are crime thrillers, others are historical fiction, adventure, fantasy novels – chosen for the style, subject matter, writing skills or simply narrative pleasure. DIGITAL BOOKS OR HARD PRINT BOOKS?? E-readers are incredibly convenient and many booksellers (e.g. Amazon, Barnes & Noble ) offer novels in both formats now and so do many major authors such as Michael Connelly and Sharon Kay Penman to name just two. You can take heaps of books on your e-reader when on long plane trips, vacations and so on. AND, with print books you can still have the pleasure of holding a book in your hands as you devour the works of favorite authors. SO HAVE BOTH OPTIONS!!!

To my valued visitors please SHARE THIS SITE - click and get the code “Readingbooks-4fun.com” is a subjective list of what I consider the best authors and novels that I feel justify the title top fiction books to read for fun and relaxation.

Cleopatra or Harry Potter; Ender Wiggins or Alexander the Great; Harry Bosch or Matthew Scudder. Narrative style – the best fiction authors keep you turning the pages and it’s simply a sheer joy to read their prose and style….. e.g. James Lee Burke, Michael Connelly, Lawrence Block. Sometimes the period – I’m a sucker for anything written set in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece or ancient Rome and the Middle Ages for medieval England (e.g Sharon Penman’s books). Genre/Style – thrillers, crime/police procedurals, sci-fi and fantasy – e.g. I don’t like so-called ‘romances” – yet I value a good love story that is embedded in an overall story – be it the relationship of the main character with his/her spouse or boy/girlfriend. This often illuminates more about the main character adding to our interest in him/her and thus the book as a whole. One caveat – this is mainly about top fiction books by currently living authors – although some golden oldies have crept in. (I wrote most of this page in 2008 - sadly Robert B Parker has since died) Treat this site of top fiction books like a library – browse through the shelves (i.e. the menu) and see what you like … there is even a spot for you to contribute your ideas or comments too. A caveat – just because some writers are not included doesn’t mean that they don’t match up to those I have included – it’s simply that I haven’t yet added them in or I haven’t followed them. |
