Roald Dahl's short stories for adults; Michael Crichton (except Airframe), Matthew Pearl, Brad Thor, Dean Koontz, Sophie Kinsella, Elizabeth Kostova's "The Historian", Dan Brown, Robert Cormier's "I Am the Cheese"... and so many more!!! I tend to prefer books by male authors, because most female authors I've read are just so damn wordy, melancholy, or too flowery.
