For Crichton, I guess I would recommend Jurassic Park first (that was the book that the first of those movies was based on). I just realized while looking over his list of novels in Wikipedia that there's one I somehow missed: "Disclosure." Don't know how I missed that...and I see that my library has the e-book. Happy coincidence, since I just finished my current book. I've read most of Crichton's books except for his early medical-themed books that he wrote under a pen name.

My wife read Richard Paul Evans' "The Walk" series of five very short books and his three "Mistletoe"-titled books and liked them all. Fair warning, she mainly likes books with some romance.

My new jumbo-size iPad is way too big for an e-book reader! An e-book reader should be reasonably portable (like a paperpack-size book). The Kindle I use for reading is my Kindle "Paperwhite" model (not the Kindle "Fire" model that I played Secret Society on). The Paperwhite is just the right size to be able to fit into a jacket pocket. And the screen is a nice non-reflective surface that works just as well in bright sunlight as in a darkened room.
