I read a number of different genres, but as for favorite authors (my "go to" authors

,) I'd have to say Robert Jordan (R.I.P.)--specifically the Wheel of Time series--in fantasy and Stephen Baxter in sci-fi. The wife & I both will read every John Sandford book as soon as it's released, although we prefer the audioversions read by Richard Ferrone. Good stuff.
