Jeffrey Deaver, James Patterson, John Sandford for mystery. I have yet to guess whodunit correctly on Deaver. I used to love the Travis McGee series by John D. MacDonald.
Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, John Ringo for sci-fi. Not a big fantasy fan.
Definitely not a fan of most "female" books but I thoroughly enjoyed Water for Elephants and The Help.
Books I reread: Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged; Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and Taming of the Shrew; Watson's Play of the Hand (my bridge bible); Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.
There are other authors that I will automatically get their books when they come out but those are my favorite authors. I'm still looking for a new sci-fi author of the Heinlein, Asimov, Clark caliber (hint, hint for you sci-fi fans).
