LOIS DUNCAN! Boy that takes me back. "Five were Missing" was a big favorite.

I reread several of her books recently, and they were just as good, but I did have a different perspective. I loved The Third Eye! Actually, I really enjoyed all her books.

My current guilty read is: Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourn. I like her books because they are decently written and have a lot of humor, so although it's clearly not great literature, maybe it's not so very shameful after all.

My own guilty clever is my hardcover collection of Calvin & Hobbes. Not a novel, but I can spend many hours adventuring with Calvin and his stuffed tiger.

Brooks' first book was a blantant copy of the LoTR; however, the second and third books of the first trilogy (The Elfstones of Shannara and the Wishsong of Shannara) were excellent. I've read all of the Shannara books and don't consider them a guilty pleasure. I have also read the Word & Void series and thought he brilliantly tied the two series together.

However, the Landover series also by Terry Brooks, which I have also read entirely, definitely falls under the "guilty pleasure" heading.

Also the Pendragon books by McHale. My son would get them as soon as they came out and I read them immediately after he finished them.

Yeah, I read them all too, and I too think that they are (mostly) excellent. My first was actually The First King of Shannara (which I still consider his best book). It's only The Sword that is... well, a shame.

V.C. Andrews is definitely my guilty pleasure! Although, in my defense, I only really like the 8 books originally written by Andrews; I tend to ignore everything by the ghostwriter.

If you're interested, most of Andrews' earlier books are going to be released in ebook in February 2011. There's an off chance some of her fans have started a countdown until we can own all of these crazy books in secrecy on our ereaders....

I like the original novels, too, but I did enjoy some of the earlier ghostwritten novels as well. They tended to get worse over time (I did read the ghostwritten novels for a long, time before giving up. I'm nothing if not loyal). I do plan on picking up the ebooks!

I see no reason to feel guilty about reading those novels. Although as a general rule I do not read movie books, I simply preferr to see the movie. I have read: Sum of All Fears, Jurrasic Park, Christine, A Christmas Carol and Atlast Shrugged.

Calvin and Hobbes are my favorites.


And who doesn't love Bon Jovi? Why are my favorite books being listed as guilty pleasures?
