I get the Readers' Digest Select Editions...each one has four condensed books...usually recent titles by great authors...I've been collecting them for about nine years and just gave away a bunch of them because I'm moving and they are just excess weight that I can't see carrying around...besides, I've read them all at least twice...
But my favourites include Lee Child's Reacher series...Mary Higgins Clark mysteries...Nicholas Sparks...and a whole bunch of others that I probably wouldn't read otherwise...
Aside from those I've read quite a few different books...mostly fiction, but I like some of the autobiographies...I've learned about Ronald Reagan, George Bush, and a bunch of other people that I've heard of...
One of my all time favs though is A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking...puts me to sleep faster than anything else I've ever read...
