I wish I could answer that question. I mean it's difficult for me because I've thrown out so many of my favorite books. (Please don't condemn me. It was a question of allergies and asthma.) But how I wish I had access still to some of my favorite recent novels. For me that means these works by John Grisham: The Client, The Summons, The Testament, The Chamber. I loved each of them! But they were written before I started writing. I'd love to reread them now. I suspect they'd resonate as well with me now as they did then.
I also, not too long ago, read the Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins. I could not put the books down, although, with all due respect, I best loved the first book. Anyway, I still enjoy reading. I always will.
God bless writers!
