MY favourite author is easily John Grisham ! His books "Time to kill" & Pelican Brief" were my favourite. !!
Most of his characters/plot revolve around Laws/Lawyers & hence, His attention to detail is flawless !!
Other favourite authors are robin cook, sidney sheldon, J.K. Rowling ( only for HP ), Chetan Bhagat, Dan Brown & Michael Crichton.
atm, i am reading the Mahabharat & ramayan - rewritten by C.rajagopalachari .
He has written it Beautifully ( but loads of spoilers in between )

For all you non fiction people out there, try out "Outwitting the devil" by the personal improvement guru Napoleon Hill. If you leave out the shaky start the interview with the devil is pretty nicely done and is quite thought provoking.

I have read Digital Fortress, Deception Point, A&D, DaVinciCode.. (Scores of 10 would be 8.5, 8, 9.5, 7.5)
Also try Doomsday Conspiracy by sindney sheldon(8.5/10)

Try out 'the devotion of suspect x' it's by a japanese author and the plot is pretty good. Sort of like Deathnote (an anime that you must see if you haven't)
Have already read doomsday conspiracy, enjoyed it thoroughly. The suspense-glue in Sidney's books is amazing. Have also read tomorrow never comes, it was even better.
I don't like the types of Davinci code. Haven't read it, but saying from whatever I have heard about it. Digital fortress is currently my first priority, have read so many criticism by techies of it. So have to read. My all time fav is The Alchemist, still searching for something similar.

John Grisham is my favourite too. Although I have read only one novel of his 'The Innocent Man' which is his only non-fiction work but it impressed me a lot. Will read his other works too.
It has taken me 1 year to read a major portion of Angels & Demons because I cannot finish a paragraph without looking at the dictionary approx 5 times.

The Partner was another work of John Grisham that impressed me.
Yes, indeed. But his works includes very tragic themes and tend to have a very strong emotional impact. So if you don't like that sort of stuff then you shouldn't bother. Still, if you're interested, I'd recommend A Thousand Splendid Suns. Be ready for some feels, though.
If anyone enjoys Legal Thrillers, I highly recommend John Grisham.
