When did you discover James Patterson's books?

[jay cavin]

i hope this is the right place for this topic. when i first started to read james patterson's books originally i was only going to read the alex cross series but then i read judge & jury and i decided i just had to read all of his books i could find.

I was on the beautiful beach on Jupiter island, Florida 16 years ago and the lovely woman upstairs from us handed me "Along Came a Spider" which I read over the next 24 hours and have every word JP has written since! I love the pace as well as the charecters and feel as though I know Alex and his whole family as friends. I would be devistated if JP quit writing Alex as I feel I need to know how he, the kids, and Nanna are doing and what they are doing. They feel like family!

My mother is avid reader as well. I got started reading the books she had collected, and from there I just started collecting them. One of his books I will always treasure, Four Blind Mice. It is autographed by him.

My sister threw a book at me one time to read and I did. I then went on to collect every book he's ever put out and have read them all except for 2 that I have manged to buy but are in my TBR pile. (my profile says I read them all and counting, but it was the closest answer to the truth compared to the other choices so I chose that one! lol I'm only off by 2 lol)

The first book I read was the murder club series, my problem is that I read them in about 5 days so inbetween the releases of the "girls" I have read Beach Road, Lifequard, and Honeymoon and several others, however I haven't started Alex Cross yet. I just got Step on a Crack, and can't wait to get my next one. Happy reading to all

My mother in law was reading the Murder Club series, and when we went to the bookstore together she picked up The Quickie. I decided to check his books out, and I've been reading everything I can get my hands on. I plan on working my way through all 52 books. Since then, I have got my Mom to start reading his books, and my husband plans on reading When the Wind Blows and the Lake House.

I started reading with Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls. Though the movies were great, I'd read the books already, so I was a bit disappointed. Morgan Freeman was too old... :(

I discovered James when I read Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. I totally fell in love with the way he writes. Then I read the Jester, which happens to be my favorite out of all, then I kept buying and buying more and more books. I think I have around 32 of them, I might be mistaken though, since most of my stuff is in a storage.
