Fave author? (1 Viewer)

Who is your favourite author?

Mine is Nick Hornby...I love the way he writes, there are so many moments where you just stop and think "That is so true!" He really captures the way people think an act towards things-even though in theory it may sound totally stupid when actually written down, it is that stupidity that makes his writing so good!

It depends on what type of book im reading: Fav fantasy author would be David Eddings or Raymond E Feist, but i like Tom Clancy, Stephen King and abit of Gore Vidal never hurt anyone, i think im easily satisfied when it comes to reading

paul jennings is pretty good

 

[Generator]

Pratchett

tolkien (jrr) hands down.
but other than that, and across the nightingale floor i'm not that big a fantasy fan..and my favourite non-fantasy author would have to be kureishi

I'm a fan of Grisham. Read most of his stuff.
Speaking of him though, what's the story behind the Gingerbread Man, because the movie is all like "John Grisham's..." but I've never actually seen this book, nor any other references with it and Grisham.

David Eddings is my favourite authgor, and Kathy Reichs is pretty good. Oh, and Janet Evanovich is excellent, I can really relate to a lot of the stuff she writes about.

I like Isobelle Carmody's stuff, but she's too damn slow at getting the books out. Damn her! Though I guess I should have learnt by now not to start a series that hasn't got a conclusion yet....

 

[Juliet]

Ahhh! That's a hard question....there are so many....I would have to say Pamela Belle. The author of 'Moon in the water', 'Chains of Fate' and 'Alethea'. She is a romance/historic novelist.
