[Oblivion 9999]

Who are your favourite author(s)? My favourite authors have to be J.R.R Tolkien, Philip Pullman and Douglas Adams.

[death.mage]

I love Fantasy Fiction! My favourite authors are Sara Douglass, David Eddings and Raymond Feist. The Riftwar Saga and the Troy Game are brilliant. Belgariad isn't too shabby either. I want to read the Song of Ice and Fire though, apparently that series is really good.

[Oblivion 9999]

Cool choice there. I've heard of the Troy Game and apparently I got told by someone that the Song of Ice and Fire are pretty good, but I'm not sure, oh yeah I also forgot to say Jonathan Stroud, the first and second of the Bartimaeus Trilogy by him are pretty good.

[grrlfromoz]

I'd have to go with JRR Tolkien (woo hobbitses!), I'm a fan of pretty much anything by Oscar Wilde, oh and of course Paul from the Bible

[SuburbanalCuts]

my favorite authors are masanobu fukuoka, steve hagen, H.G. Wells, Ram Dass, herman melville, and....hmmmm....there's a lot more but I can't remember. heh heh heh. Yup.

Louie Sachar...And the author of "CUT". OO And I like Phillip Pullman as well...Ever read the book...The Butterfly Tatoo..??A.K.A...The White Mercadez God I cried me eyes out..

CUT is about a girl who slits her wrists and she goes to an institute with all these insane people...

I like to read books about stress...people with problems...people slitting their own wrists.....people who are unstable...people who are being bullied....people who die .....and people who are "different"...

Doesn't anyone remember Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Sphere, Congo, Timeline, Prey??? All by Michael Crichton. Also the creator of the series ER.

I suggest reading Cornel West for any insightful reading on racism and black history.

[Onezero]

My favorite author has to be Michael Crichton, but I love Chuck Palahniuk too!

[seren]

Ah, I saw some of my own favourite authors there. Terry Practchett; I love the Discworld books, especially the ones about the Watch in Ankh-Morpork or the witches. I especially liked the last one that was published in paperback, "The Monstrous Regiment". Let's see, Edgar Allen Poe, HG Wells, JG Ballard, Ray Bradbury, Elinor Brent Dyer, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Alexander McCall Smith, CS Lewis, Ursula leGuin, Manley Wade Wellman, Wilkie Collins, Charlotte Bronte. That's what I can think of, off the top of my head. Probably some others. I also like poetry, by Christina Rossetti, Robert Frost and Gerard Manley Hopkins.

[synapticflame]

Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game and Alvin Maker series)
Isaac Asimov (Foundation series)
Neil Postman (Technopoly, Amusing Ourselves to Death)
Douglas Hofstadter (Godel, Escher, Bach)
Michael Crighton (The Sphere, The Weapon)
Madeline L'engle (A Swiftly Tilting Planet, And Both Were Young)
C. S. Lewis (The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia)
These are my initial picks anyway...

[eiteljoh]

no doubt it's john grisham. my first one was "the rainmaker", from then out i was completely hooked. let's see, books turned movies: the firm, the pelican brief, the runaway jury, a time to kill, ... i'm sure there are others ...

next in line, robert ludlum. and yah, i'm loving the bourne identity/supremacy movies!

[jjhou]
