I would guess Stephen King.

I loved the Harry Potter books, even if I did often pretend it was more sci-fi and less childish than it is.

It’s the economists’ own damn fault. If economics were interesting, everyone would buy there books. But there is no effective plot in economics books (although economists can plot a graph). There is no character development (although economists can tell you how to develop a country’s economy). In sum, economics is boring. Fiction is not and you can read a 500 page book of fiction in one sitting (albeit a long one) – try that with an economics book.

I like Rowling and Evanovich. The Stephanie Plum books get repetitive after a while, but they are pretty funny.

I’m sure it’s Ken Follett that he likes.

Has to be Clancy. Rainbow SIX!

I think Tyler likes Koontz. JK Rowling is rubbish. Sorry kids. And adults.

I think King’s best is really good. Rowling’s best is OK.
