Liking the sound of the Clan of the Cave Bear. Sounds like something completely fresh.

I read a lot of Stephen King through my teenage years, although I managed to get to the end of them, there is a book by Graham Masterton that I had stop reading because I really didn't want to find out what was in the attic!

Also had phases of reading Wilbur Smith and particularly enjoy a good murder these days whether that be a cozy mystery like Agatha Raisin, or something more gritty like Luther.
