Who is your favorite author? (You can post more than one)


Here's one of my favorites:
Laurell K. Hamilton

She's most famous for her Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. The series at the moment has fifteen novels, with plans to go up to twenty-two or possibly more. The best way to describe Anita is: [b]"an R-rated Buffy w/o all the fluff."[/b]

Stephen King, wrote classic like The Stand (my favorite book ever), The Dark Tower series, Cujo, Salems Lot, I could go on for about 20 great books and that itself says something.

&quot;Catch-22&quot; by Joseph Heller is my favourite book, but he's not consistent as an author.
Kurt Vonnegut (another dead hero) is my favourite author.

Robert Cormier...he writes really messed up books about murder and insane people...

and Laurie Halse Anderson. She writes real life situation stories about girls in highschool which are hilarious and really dark.

GEORGE ORWELL!!!<br /><br />Post edited by: apawl92, at: 2008/01/03 11:48

Right now, I guess one favourite author would be J.K. Rowling, I mean, come on, Harry Potter is timeless. Other really good books written by really good authors are the &quot;Shadow of the Wind&quot; by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. Isabel Allende is also really good, I think. And then there's Phillip Pullman, with his trilogy, oh man, I forget the name, I think &quot;His Dark Materials&quot;...? It was fantastic. I could not put them down. Dan Brown's books were also good reading. I guess mainstream will be mainstream. But who cares? Reading is reading, and I'm always in for a good read no matter how widely read the novel.

Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series, of course. His hiddened philosophy and his characters' internal struggles make for an excellent read as they grapple with ethics and belief in amongst some gripping stories. Terry Pratchett is quite probably the most brillient writer of the contemporary era, and that is supported by bookshop thieves everywhere who vote with their sticky fingers and pinch his books more often than any other author.

Tolkien by far
