I agree - its all in the eye of the beholder. There are a number of best sellers from the NYTimes that "should" be good books, but they just don't fit my style. I really like Martin Cruz Smith, if you get a chance you might want to check him out. If you like adventure type stories, a book my husband and I both liked was "Coming Back Alive" by Spike Walker. Its a story of a search and rescue mission up in Alaska, and the crab fishing industry. Its a little slow to start, when they describe the guys on the fishing boat, their backgrounds, and the fishing industry in general, but when it gets to the part where they're out on the water, and everything that comes after that, we just couldn't put the book down. Absolutely captivating.
