Some of my favorite authors have gone crazy in the last few years. Michael Crichton has become a paranoid anti-technology, anti-global warming fanatic. All of his recent stuff is about how technology is evil and how global warming is a myth. Dean Koontz has turned into a religious fanatic, going from supernaturally good to God saves the day. Stephen King lost his edge after his accident. Robert Jordan lost his life to cancer before finishing the 12th and final book in his series. Terry Pratchett is always good for a laugh, however I finish his books in about an hour. John Sanford's "Prey" books are always good, if not a little repetitive.

Thanks for all the good suggestions, I'll have to start at the top of the list here and work my way down.

The pillers of the earth. By Ken Follett. I saw this book on sale in Costco last week. I thought it strange seeing as I had read it 17 years ago at least. Then I noticed that it was an Oprah recomended reading list book. I don't know why she's so late catching on. I checked my copy when I got home and it was written in 1989. A good read for anyone interested in things British and old.
