I'm torn between Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman honestly.
Pratchett is funnier and wittier and more original than anything I've ever read and when he had romance it's SO DAMN PERFECT. Not over done, dont cheesy and lame, just perfect. The man writes about dragons and werewolves and police officers and it's 100% perfect.
Gaiman is a whole different cookie. His way with words and ideas are like poetry sometimes. It's like reading a song or something, like every beat is in it's perfect place. They make you question reality.
The ending of neverwhere was AMAZING

Normally, I'm not one for the newer books. For the most part, I prefer science fiction books mostly from the late 1800's. Some of my favorites are 20,000 leagues under the sea, War of the Worlds, Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde, 1984, and so on.
However, my absolute favorite book ever is "Life of Pi" by Yahn Martel. That book was only published a few years ago. It's about a young indian boys search for religion.

One of my favourite authors would have to be Lisa Klein. She takes Shakespeare to a whole new level. I love her book Ophelia, which is basically Hamlet told in her point of view. Another of my favourite authors is Jay Asher. He wrote "13 Reasons Why" It gives a lot of insight into the minds of others and why people would want to commit suicide. And on that note. Patrica McCormick, the author of "Cut" is another of my favourite authors.

Victor Hugo, Vladimir Nabakov, and Orson Scott Card are my favorites. They each have very different styles, but I just love their work. I just recently got into the "classics" early last year, and I've been sucked in big-time. And Orson Scott Card is there to satisfy my love for science fiction. The man is brilliant.
Above all, I think I hold Nabakov just slightly above the other two. After all, "Lolita" is my all-time favorite book. ♥

Victor Hugo rocks my socks.
I also love Lewis Carrol and Christopher Moore.
Russle T. Davies is great too.
Oh! And we can't forget good ol' J.K. Rowling!
I would like to add Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
I like this group of people.

I like this group of people. J.K. Rowling is among my favorites as well. I love how she styles her work so that nobody is pure evil and there are very few characters who are based on stereotypes. I will possibly use some excerpts from the Harry Potter series in a class or two.

As of late I've been reading more into Hunter S. Thompson as well as some of his biographies.
I've also become a fan of JR Ward after binge-reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series after Christmas.
I've also read Laurell K. Hamilton, Amelia Attwater-Rodes, etc. I don't read Stephanie Meyer. I like J.K. Rowling. Love Neil Gaiman. Russell T. Davies rocks mah face with Doctor Who.
Also, Mark Z Danielewski. I loved House of Leaves.

Yeah, J.K. Rowling has a way with words, and the thickening and suspense in her plots. Also loved her side stories.
I liked Lewis Caroll's works, and Edgar Allan Poe. Oh yeah, I loved the wit and cliffhangers of authors Frank R. Stockton and Guy de Maupassant.

My favourite author would have to be J.K.Rowling, another would have to be C.S. Lewis. :3
Though I've only read one of her books, I fell in love with Anne De Gaaf's story, "Where the Fire Burns". I'd suggest for anyone to read it!

My favorite author of all time would have to be Jack London personally
I love the way he writes very detailed
it helps me imagine the book as more of a movie then a book
Best book ever is a tie between Call of the wild and White Fang

Tehehe... Who is my favorite author? Well, several, really. I like J.K. Rowling's writing style, not too detailed nor less detailed. Oh, I could never forget Michael Crichton for his Jurassic Park, of course.
