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 "Shadow of the Wind" 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 "His Dark Materials"...? 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.
