I enjoy reading Novels by James Patterson, Love all his books!
Just got done reading The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford (fiction)–excellent! If you like that, read The Distant Land of My Father, by Bo Caldwell (fiction). It’s obscure, but one of my favorites. Love the prose! Also just got done reading Anna Quindlen’s Every Last One (fiction). Very good, but not upbeat by any means.
