Default Have You All Heard Of Sidney Sheldon??

So without a doubt, this guy is my favorite author. Have any of you all heard of him? If not, and you like to read, I suggest you check him out. His books hold you in a death grip, and you really can't put them down.

Also, he has written since like 1970, so needless to say, he has plenty of material to keep you busy for awhile.

Much Love,
Ethan

I'd be shocked if most people hadn't at least heard of him. It's almost like asking if you've ever heard of Stephen King.

If you like to read, you may want to check out the "what are you reading right now" thread here in Chit Chat. Lots of great recommendations for great reading material.

Have you read any of Sheldon's work, and if so which ones???

Much Love,

I dream of Jeannie and Hart to Hart's father! I love those series. I have never read his books but I've seen the movie from Bloodline (not bad) and the Tv one with Jane Seymour where she loses her memory (useless).

Yeah I don't know if I would like movie versions of the books... Might kind of take away from the magic.

Much Love,
Ethan

Really? The Other Side Of Midnight is one of his best, IMO.

I always thought Sidney Sheldon was a woman And I always just assumed she was on par w/ Danielle Steel...I don't know why...

Never had the patience to wade through his writing style to even get to appreciate any story he might be trying to convey.
