Who Is Your Favourite Author?
I thought we had a thread for this, but a search revealed nothing... so here we go.
Who are your favourite authors [and books that made you fall in love with them]? In no particular order: 1. Michael Oondatje [The English Patient] 2. P.D. James [Children of Men] 3. Piers Anthony Dillingham Jacob (Piers Anthony) [The Incarnations of Immortality Series] 4. R.A. Salvatore [The Legend of Drizzt Series]

The order in which I discovered them. Frank Herbert - "Dune" Robert Jordan - "Eye of the World" Robert Heinlein - "Stranger in a Strange Land," and "Friday" I only put authors that I have read more than one book by and been consistently blown away. I have many more for whom I have read only a single book that really impacted me. That is for another time, when I can really reflect on it. Quote:

Geisha, A Life by Mineko Iwasaki I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou Out by Natsuo Kirino I like a lot of the stuff by Piers Anthony, but it was his Xanth series. David Eddings and his Belgarion and Mallorian series, and then there was the Dune series too. I don't read as much I used to, so I can't remember anything else.

Let's see...I have so many favorite books and authors that I will probably post on this topic multiple times. To start out, though: Ray Bradbury Something Wicked This Way Comes Haruki Murakami The Wind-up Bird Chronicle Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse-Five Mark Z. Danielewski House of Leaves Albert Camu The Stranger J.R.R. Tolkien The Hobbit Anne Rice Interview with a Vampire Philip Pullman His Dark Materials Fyodor Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment Joseph Heller Catch 22 Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice Stephen King Needful Things John Irving A Prayer for Owen Meany Douglas Adams A Hitcher's Guide to the Galaxy William Golding Lord of the Flies Ken Kesey One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Marion Zimmer Bradley The Mists of Avalon Erich Maria Remarque All Quiet on the Western Front I think that's enough for now.  Btw, there are authors that I have read multiple books by and my favorites by them are not the first ones that I have read by them (listed above).
