A couple of these authors—Hosseini and Cornwell-- are favorites of mine. I’ve read works by Grisham, Baldacci, Sparks, and George, there’s a Jodi Picoult novel on my nightstand, and as I mentioned on an earlier post, I plan on reading a series this summer. Perhaps it will be Meyers’ or Rowling’s. Ken Follett’s on my “must-read” list, but I have no plans for the rest of those guys. Maybe later?

If I'm not mistaken Paolini wrote his first book, Eragon, at age 15.
I would advise to read Rowling before Meyer, but that's just me.
My wife often reads Picoult and she really enjoys it. I guess I would recommend her, too.
That being said, I'm surprised Rowling is so far down on the list. Is HP not as big outside of the US and UK?
I was surprised, too. I'd think she'd be higher than Meyer or Grisham, but I guess there's no accounting for taste :-)
