Yes am a big fan of her books as well.....it's called the "Outlander" series here in the US. I have been in love with Jamie and Claire for years! It's a guilty pleasure...boarder-lining on "cultish" I'm afraid....

I read quite a bit. It relaxes my mind and takes me to another place. I like romance novels the best.

I am glad I found this thread. I love to read and I will have to check these authors out. I read each night before I go to bed and all summer long while school is out. I read Deveraux, Lindsey, Garwood, and I love the Janet Evanovich: Stephanie Plum series. I have also read all of Charlaine Harris' books. I have ebooks on my little pda and I love to read in bed. :thumbup:

I love to read. I HAVE to read. I read everything and anything. I actually get paid to red (it's part of my job to stay up to date with certain material - and then to write about it - another of my passions).

I love to escape into the Disc World. I personally think that Terry Pratchett should run for World Peace Ambassador. I think I have read everything he has ever written. Sadly the Dark Lord of Sardonic Wit now has Alzheimers and may not be producing many more tomes so I treasure every copy I have - you can never get secondhand copies cos everyone reads and re-reads his books. They are fabulous.

I also love the Alexander McCall-Smith books about Precious Ramotswe and the Ladies No.1 Detective Agency. They are deceptively simple stories and aboslutely charming. Delightful.

But to be honest, if I have nothing else to read I will read the back of Cereal packets, junk mail, even freebie local newspapers. I read, therefore I am.

I remember loving the "Berek Halfhand" character and lots of sci-fi when I was a teenager.

I loved Wilbur Smith when I lived in Africa.

These days I mostly read technical stuff, but I love my Pratchett. Is he popular across the pond?

Hi there ladies. My name is Michele. I too and a huge Gabaldon Fan. Have been for about six years. I've lots of friends who have read the Dante books and have enjoyed them as well. Romance is the best! I'm actually a member of the RWA, Romance Writers of America and have attended two conferences with many of the best writers in the genre. I have on completed manuscript and am working on my second at the moment. It's great to meet you all. I'm super new to all of this. Just had my surgery last Monday and am doing fab. Maybe you all can help me navigate around here. It's soooo big. I hope I'm doing some of this posting stuff correctly. LOL
