I read a lot and I most often prefer the books to the movies. I have too many favorite authors to list, so I will start with Dean Koontz. I have been reading the Jane Hawk series and am currently reading the Night Window which is the 5th book in the series. I think Jane is the best character Dean Koontz has created to date.
I haven't read any of his so I may check those out next time I go to the library. I was reading a series by Fern Michael's Kentucky sunset, Kentucky Rich and Kentucky Heat. Also read Sara Gruen's books.
