I may just copy pasta from facebook...

Gregory Maguire - Dude. Wicked was effin amazing.

Anne Rice - She is part of the reason I really got into books. I love all of her books up till she started Christian writing. I can't even pick a favorite. God, Blood Canticle just WOW. Exit to Eden. First erotica I read. Well, pure erotica. All of her books are a little (a lot) erotic. The Mummy? Totally blew me away.

C.S. Lewis - For all its Christian undertones, the Chronicles of Narnia are really badass.

Thomas Harris - He single handedly created the most amazing sociopath I've ever read about. Hannibal Lecter is pure genius. Soon I will be re-reading all of the Hannibal books.

Stephen King - Scares the **** out of me. Especially with Desperation. His Bachman Books kept me enthralled for days. He is a brilliant writer.

J.K. Rowling - Is the second reason I kept reading. She is amazing.

Steven James - IS SO AWESOME I'M TYPING THIS IN CAPS! YOU MUST READ THE PAWN, THE ROOK, THE KNIGHT, THE BISHOP, AND THE QUEEN (WHEN IT COMES OUT) BECAUSE HE IS SO FREAKING AWESOME! I MEAN SRSLY! I STAY UP ALL NIGHT TO READ HIS BOOKS!

Stephanie Myers - After all of the authors I just listed and I pick HER?! SERIOUSLY!? Yes. Her characters are shallow and one dimensional and just plain stupid, but it was the Twilight series that pulled me out of my dark days. Mainly because I felt Bella's pain in book two over lost love. And she got a happy (but strange and lame) ending. So I was all like "If this uninteresting ***** can be happy, so can I."

Dean Koontz - He just writes some really good stuff! Like Dragon Tears and One Door Away From Heaven. Dude. One Door Away From Heaven made me sit back and just think. I didn't sleep the night I finished it.

Dan Brown - Seriously, his books are pretty much the same, but that does not mean I don't like the history, puzzle, and adventure. I even go check the historical references.

[Twelfth]

Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and J.K. Rowling.

Favorite author of all time is Elizabeth Chandler. I go as far as owning her books and enjoying them as I read them. :] I recommended if you like a slight bit of mystery.

Have you read any of Maguire's besides Wicked? I loooooove Mirror Mirror. Also, it's nice to see a Koontz fan ^^ I adore him. I find his books interesting, involving, and extremely atmospheric.

JR R Tolken

Oh god. I'm sure I'm forgetting a multitude of amazing authors, but those are just to name a few.

[under the rain]

I've loved everything I've read from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, particularly The Lost World. I also like Kenneth Oppel, who wrote the Silverwing and Airborne trilogies, which were great in my opinion. Charles Dickens is good, though admittedly I've only read A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities, which were both fantastic (A Tale of Two Cities is far superior, though).

[GuyverKnight]

Erin Hunter

Kathryn Lasky

[Twelfth]

Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde, and J.K. Rowling.

J. D. Salinger should be up there as well.

[Shini]

Don't read too much, but my mom got me into some Mary Higgins Clark books when I was younger. I really enjoyed reading her stuff.

[YuriEcchiGirl]

Mills & Boon, Danielle Steel, Roald Dahl, Meg Cabot & Jacqueline Wilson are all my favourite authors ^^

[Elphaba]

I think its update time...because I have a few new favorites:

Gregory Maguire: I loved and I mean loved Wicked (can you tell? X3?)
Mary Higgens Clark: I just love mystery stories and...she writes so many of them.
Ellen Hoppkins: Even though she writes her stories as poems I still love them and for some reason there is some really deep meaning in them.
J.K. Rowling: Just because she is amazing.

[DJ Smurf]

Well, I have just a few.

Jonathan Stroud: I only read the Bartimaeus Trilogy, but the way he planned it was really nice and I love how the Nathaniel started off awesome in the first book, become an arrogant douche in two, and ended up one of my favorite characters I ever knew of.

Christopher Paolini: Well, the Inheritance Cycle is a bit too much like Lord of the Rings, at least I think, but it's more interesting with more action. Oh yeah, I haven't finished Lord of the Rings yet, only on the second book. I never really got into the book until like last week, and now I'm on book two, so yeah.

Rick Riordan: He's epic. He mixes up mythology and present life really well. Percy Jackson series was great, and The Lost Hero kicked off the next series in Camp Half-blood really nice. The Red Pyramid, though, is not as good in my opinion. I don't like how the gods take over the body, I like the half-blood style better, but it's still decent.

Lemony Snicket: Okay, I was like a fanboy of A Series of Unfortunate Events until the last book, which answered no questions that I had and was just epically boring. All the time reading the 13 books, waiting to see what would happen, and nothing happens. Disappointing. Though, I liked it while I lasted.

J.R.R. Tolkien: Like I said above, I haven't finished Lord of the Rings yet, but the first book was pretty nice, and from what I know of him, he's an extremely inspirational writer.

[Thenu]

Terry Brooks: Love the Shannara series
J.R.R Tolkien: Self Explanatory! =D
Ryan Tomasella: New upcomming author. His first book was meh but his second book, Drylor looks impressive.

[Jasujo]

Anne McCaffrey
Anne Rice
Hideyuki Kikuchi

[YuriEcchiGirl]

I really like all of Stephen Fry's novels whenever he publishes them, always a joy to read ^^

[zekes]

Nicholas Sparks, Dan Brown, Stephen Kings, J.K Rowling, Edgar Allan Poe and Shakespeare are my favorite authors of all time. I'll never get tired reading their books.
