The fiction lists shows the results of three genre masters, leal thriller, horror, and vampire fiction, and their staying power in people's libraries. I don't read these genres, so I haven't read the ones on this list.

I am going to try to get the Touchstone right for Danielle Steel's Jewels. The one we got was the book by Jayne Ann Krentz.

I've read The Pelican Brief and listened to Every Living Thing.

I did see the movie of Dolores Claiborne, which I enjoyed. Not typical King at all, focusing more on the horror in the world we live in.

Boy, I haven't read any of these.

Read The Body Thief and probably Every Living Thing, since around that time I was a big Herriot fan.

Ive read

Waiting to Exhale
The pelican brief
Gerald's Game - one of the creepiest books I have ever read

Truman was excellent and won a well-deserved Pulitzer. Otherwise I am drawing a blank on these.

I won the Truman, but haven't read it yet. Nothing else for me.

Grisham and King nearly 20 years down the line and still going strong...
