Highly recommend anything by Jodi Piccoult.
I have read 'Keeping Faith' and 'Perfect Match'.... awesome stories! Just wish studying didn't take so much of time, so I could read her other books.

Although depressing, Sonya Hartnett would have to rank up up there.
And James Moloney.
Also Brian Caswell.

i think to kill a mockingbird was her ONLY book,
(unless im thinking of another author)

that, or it was her first novel (first and last perhaps?)
something like that anyway,

I'd have to say Anne Bishop and Jaqueline Carey are my fave authors but i also read a lot of Raymond E Fiest as well as Terry Pratchet.
