Who Is Your Favorite Author?

[DWelch1775]

Just thought I'd give a shoutout to some authors that you may or may not have heard of. Fantasy/Fiction genre Patrick Rothfuss' King Killer Chronicles and Joe Abercrombie's First law series. If you haven't read either of these two and you like fantasy/fiction then your miss out.

 

[Tabascocat]

Don't read books hardly at all, but I never missed one by Michael Crighton.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Too hard. It would be a toss up between Edward Abbey, Richard Adams, Cormack McCarthy, and J.R.R. Tolkien.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Alexandre Dumas

 

[Teren_Kanan]

George RR Martin.

 

[Denim Chicken]

Hard to narrow it to one. Thomas Mann (translated) has the best prose and wrote beautiful stories, Orwell and Huxley are so very prophetic and relevant. I'm a big fan of Russian literature so Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Pasternak. In science fiction Heinlein and Asimov are kings.

I absolutely love Abercrombie's First Law. Definitely one of my favorites. I haven't started King Killer yet, currently reading Wheel of Time, but I have already downloaded the first book.

Patrick Rothfus is OK. i found Kvothe to be a little too infallible, though.

James Clavell

He wrote my favorite book, Shogun, but I tried to read another one of his books and just could not get into it.

That whole series was excellent but I spent many years in Asia so really got into it.

 

[dargonking999]

James Patterson

hands down for me

 

[Plankton]

Though his last book wasn't great, Harlan Coben.

For sports books, give me Jim Dent.

 

[Nova]

If I had to pick I'd probably say Asimov.

But honestly it just kind of depends on the day or mood I'm in.

you would like King Rat

 

[WoodysGirl]

Maya Angelou followed by Toni Morrison..

There are some other artists that I really like, but Maya is far and away my #1.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

I have two favorite authors. Incidentally, the both share the same last name. Jim Carroll, the author of Basketball Diaries as well as Louis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland.

Margaret Atwood for fiction, Brian Greene for non. His book on multiverses was fascinating and easy to read, just like his other books.
