Who's your Favourite Author/Authors ?

---

My top 5: Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, David Gemmell, Dan Brown and Terry Brooks.

Melanie Rawn, Claire McNally, and Anne Rice are probably a few of my top choices.

My favs are Pat Conroy, J.K. Rowling (ima pothead haha), Judy Blume, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe, Curtis Sittenfeld, S.E. Hinton, Harper Lee, Nicholas Sparks, Billie Letts, Philippa Gregory, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Charles Frazier.I love to read!

V.S. Naipaul, Harper Lee, William Golding, George Orwell (very timely), and some Russian authors, especially Dostoyevsky (I seemed to be the only one in my English class who liked Notes from Underground, so YMMV).

Iain Banks (The Wasp Factory and Complicity have got to be a couple of my favorites of all time)Clive Barker (although changes in his life took the edge off his writing)Steven King (sure it's pulp but he tells a good story)Robert Ludlum

Martina Cole is my all time fave, I love her books SO much!! Harlan Coben, Jane Green, Jenny Colgan ...I love reading. Anyone else like any of these authors? Most people haven't heard of them lol

C.S Lewis, Mark Twain, Emily Dickinson, Cooper, Longfellow, Irving, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Leo Tolstoy, Charles Dickens some others but I forget.

Id have to say orson Scott Card, brilliant sci fi author.

definitely John Irving

My all time favorite is Stephen King, pick any book aside form tommy knockers and rose matters and you can call it my recomendation.I loved all the dark tower books and fthe two he wrote with peter straub, The Talisman and Black House.Hunter S Thompson, John Sanford. Kurt Vonegutt, Papa Hemingway, there several but the first 3 (king thru Sandford - Straub) are my all time favorites, when I was big into sci fi I like piers anthoney alot and Micheal Moorecock too and I used to read alot of the GOR series but no longer could tell ya the authors name. Break it down into specific books and the list grows, its harder to list an author that Iv read al of his shit and loved.

You sneaky little son of a bitch! alwasy returning for brief spells while Im not around, did ya hack my puter to find out what days Id have the least amount of time be here and only log on in those days ?

Kurt Vonnegut, Ayn Rand, Mitch Albom, and that's about it, since I'm not really a reader (even though I'd like to be).

Please tell me that you strated kurts works with breakfast of champions?that may well be my favoirtie book of his. It was the first one of his that i read, and the one that got me stuck for several books reading nothing that wasnt his.

Actually, I'm reading SlaughterHouse-Five, which is the first Vonnegut book for me. However, I'm going to the book store tomorrow to get Breakfast of Champions and another of his books and some other one that's not written by him. They have a 3 for 2 deal.

JK Rowling, Eva Ibbotson, Wendelin Van Draanen, Eoin Colfer, Meg Cabot, Margaret Mitchell, Jane Austen, Donna Jo Napoli, Jonathon Stroud, Lloyd Alexander, Tamora Pierce, Madeline L'Engle, Lois Lowry, Mark Twain, and PG Wodehouse.Whoops, I forgot: CS Lewis, Emily Bronte, and Charlotte Bronte.

Anne Rice, David Eddings, Raymond E Feist, Maggie Furey, Kelley Armstrong.

Any of you want to/are writing or have written a novel. I got about a quarter way through but its very timeconsuming maybe over the summer i'll finish it.

About 10 years ago i had a story in my head and spent weeks getting it on the puter.......it turned out to be the first of a trilogy of novels, the first was 580,000 words...........unfortunatly i saved it onto floppy disc and when i came to start again last year, it was corrupted..........I lost everything criesI hope your writing goes well, are you planning on sending it away to be published? What genre is it??? do we get to read a sneaky chapter????

Sorry about your story, just thinkin about how long it takes to even get started can't imagine how that would have felt... my own attempt is fantasy i'd guess but so far its more lots of ideas that i haven't quite put together yet, if i do ill be sure to show something... so far its very much a work in progress.

mine was fantasy too I hope you feel able to share some of your work......
