Ken Follett
Maeve Binchy
Stephen King

I have so many ... this makes me realize how little time I spend reading anymore.. I used to be such a voracious reader but with the internet, I've found that I just don't take the time to pick up an actual book.

Anyone have a Kindle? I thought that might be a good idea.
