I'm a teenager and I haven't read books from most of those authors because I'm a wee bit too young. However, I've read "The Orange Girl" by Jostein Gaarder and I REALLY LIKE IT!!

I'm only 20!
Kate Mosse is brilliant, you'd probably really like her - it's not all intellectual like Rushdie or le Carré, just good old-fashioned 'chick-lit' adventure/romance stuff, but for people with a few brains...
Gaarder's 'Sophie's World' is one of my favourite books ever though, he's hilarious!!

Isn't Sophie's World like an introduction to philosophical ideas? I think I read it when I was about 16 and loved it, didn't find it funny though???

Yup! He's basically condensed about 5,000 years of thought into 500 pages... brilliantly clever. I just found the prose really amusing; the way he writes - perhaps it's because it's translated from Norwegian, or perhaps it's like that anyway and they've retained it. Either way I find his style very funny.
