There are also the many novels recently made into movies: Memoirs of a Geisha; House of Sand and Fog; The Hours; and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
My favorite all time authors include: Dostoyevski; Henry James; Jane Austin; Thomas Hardy; Edgar Allen Poe; John Steinbeck; and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
I also enjoy just about anything from the following contemporary authors: A.M. Homes; David Sedaris; Toni Morrison; Elizabeth Berg; Anita Shreve; Nicci French; Janet Evanovich; and Alice Hoffman.
