Personally I read a wide range of authors, from potboilers to writers who are as good as it gets. To prove the point, the book of the moment here is "The October List" by Jeffrey Deaver. Stylistically it is a steaming pot of poo. But I keep reading to see how it turns out.


I'm not reading this now, but I've read it several times and it's one of my faves.
