Wow, that's a tall order! There are so many different genres and styles out there, and what you enjoy reading is quite a personal thing. For instance, my favourite author is Stephen King, but his work is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Would you prefer a shorter book, or do you fancy diving straight in with a lengthy epic? Are you interested in fantasy or history? Romance or mystery? If you're not sure, there are lots of anthology works full of short stories by collections of authors. Maybe you could start with a couple of those, and if a writer's particular style catches your attention, look at longer novels they've written. Reply #1. Jul 13 19, 8:19 AM |

I see you list computers and electronics as your hobbies so you might enjoy a technological thriller. Reply #2. Jul 13 19, 11:17 AM |

Can you narrow it down for us? What sort of books have you enjoyed previously or will this be your first book? If so what sort of stories or subjects do you enjoy in general (from whatever media)? Reply #3. Jul 17 19, 10:39 PM |

I see you are from Australia. I really liked Colleen McCullough's series on Rome and the Romans but I'm sure it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. If you like adventure, why not try something by Neville Shute. Now I've exhausted my knowledge of Australian Writers. I know Peter Carey is one but I've never read any of his books. He has won awards though. Reply #4. Jul 17 19, 10:42 PM |

If you enjoy video games, you might enjoy ' Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline. Reply #5. Jul 17 19, 10:44 PM |

"The Caine Mutiny" by Herman Wouk. (I've read it it three times over 30 years-it got better each time:-) Reply #7. Oct 17 20, 9:58 AM |
