I would think Arthur Conan Doyle and his Sherlock Holmes series of stories would be my choice. When I think of Holmes I just naturally think of London which is known for its rainy weather and fog ... perfect "mood weather" for Doyle's writing, especially The Hound Of The Baskervilles *L*.

Very nice choice, DATo!

I may be a little weird, but I love a good Horror book on a rainy day...well, on any day, actually! But for sure on a rainy day!

I like Anne Tyler for a rainy day. Some of her stories are a bit depressing in places. But the characters are almost always great. And you can get most of the book done in one long afternoon.

I've come to terms that some authors do the job of passing time well while others do not. For example, Agatha Christie is a brilliant author who works of majestic schemes in her plots and twists lies in her truths. It's a phenomenon to finish her work and guessing the culprit of the story correctly. However amazing she is though, I could never read her On a rainy day. To me rainy days are simple afternoons that leave you relaxed and easy going, a harsh language and mystery filled novel will intendedly ruin that stature. Christie is more of a read by the beach kind of girl, just in my opinion. But, take someone like Nora Roberts and you will have the epitome of rainy afternoons.

I guess what I'm saying is that depending on the mood, the atmosphere and of course the weather, a reader can get off on a different foot depending on what kind of writer the book is about, the subject of the book, and whether or not it will spark a nerve after reading it.

Let me know if you feel the same!

Before I read the actual the actaul post, I was going to say Nora Roberts! Great minds.

Also, Danielle Steele and Debbie Macomber.

All of them? I tend to like Ted Dekker for a rainy day, he is suspenseful thriller with Christian elements. I also enjoy Suzanna Linton, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Gena Showalter, hmm and several others. I just grab a book that tickles my fancy and curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and a cat.

I am definitely going to check out Ted Dekker!

Sue Monk Kidd would be the author for me on a rainy day. Her books, like The Secret Life of Bees, When the Heart Waits and The Mermaid Chair, would entertain and occupy my time indoors.
