I'm not one for the classics

unless Dr. Seuss counts. I, too, love Cornwell, along with James Patterson, John Sandford's Prey series, Sue Grafton. I discovered Janet Evanovich a couple years ago, and her stuff is great fun...it's got good exciting stories, but she's got it laced with humor, so there have been times when I was reading in public and ended up looking like a fool because I was just busting up while I was reading (it was shortly after that supreme humiliation that I started taking sudoku along with me instead).

I'm not really one for the classics either though I did like To Kill a Mockingbird.
I haven't read Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich. I average at least 40 books a year between true crime, medical mysteries and murder mysteries. I am also hooked on TV shows like Forensic files, FBI files, Cole Case Files and that show called something "Evil" where the forensic psychiatric examines the minds of serial killers. What really spooked me was the BTK killer's lack of emotion. It was just like he was talking about nothing more than an ATM withdrawal. My husband jokes that I just read true crime and watch those shows because I'm plotting to kill him. 
Many classics but I have to say one Amy Grant CD is my favorite
Breath of Heaven and Grown up Christmas List are just beautiful. If you have not heard these, you need to give a listen, you will want to buy the CD. :) I added a link to the song clips (if I did that right.)
Yeah, give me the classics
Songs like these, and not sung in some weird new version either.
- Joy to the World

- God Rest You Merry Gentlemen
- Come, All Ye Faithful
- Little Town of Bethlehem
- What Child is This?
- Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
- It Came Upon a Midnight Clear

- Rudolf the red nose Reindeer
- It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

While I love all these old classics from my childhood...sm
As an adult, I love the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums. There's just something about them that makes my heart sing. I like the first one the best.
And my husband and I have a new favorite:
The Jethro Tull Christmas Album.
I would recommend it to everyone. We love all the songs on it, and you have to listen carefully to the words, as well as the melody. Well worth the time to enjoy new favorite.

Go for the classics, like Bringing up Baby or Philadelphia Story.
How about Blazing Saddles, Life of Brian, A Fish Called Wanda, or My Cousin Vinny?
