Big Books That Read Small
by Roger Robbins
Don't flinch. Big isn't bad. Let these writers grab you and the pages will melt away. Suddenly, you'll be halfway done with no memory of how you got there!
Tom Clancy - Tom Clancy is the dean of political/espionage thrillers.
Not my type of book - until I read one! Start with Patriot Games and see what I mean.
Hilary Mantel - There are good historical fiction writers. And then there is Hilary Mantel. Her Wolf Hall Trilogy (about King Henry VIII) is unforgettable.
Edward Rutherfurd - His historical novels straddle long periods of history through a series of captivating
mini-stories. Very unique approach.
