Authors you love...

[HannahBeth333]

When I was younger I read Cornelia Funke books. Now I read authors like Jim Butcher and Stephen King.
What authors are your favorites?

Back in the day it was Bruce Coville. Now-a-days I enjoy Christopher Paolini, Lowis Lowry, and Suzanne Collins. I'm not a big reader, I used to be, but don't have a lot of spare time any more I do try to read a few books a year...

What genre do those authors write?

I like a good adventure book - so Matthew Riley, James Rollins [] and people like that for me

My mum looooves Jim Butcher books - she is very much into that whole genre.

When I was younger? KA Applegate, RL Stine, Tamora Pierce, and of course JK Rowling. Nowadays? Tamora Pierce is still on the list, along with Stephen King, Michael Crichton, and occasionally some Laurell K Hamilton or Anne Rice. I'd put James Roberts on the list but I'm unsure if that'd count. :B

That sounds really awesome. I'll have to read some of their stuff.

JD Salinger!  My God, that man was an absolute genius.  I'm so obsessed with everything he ever wrote.  Especially The Catcher in the Rye! Now there's a novel! 

I'm also quite a fan of James Kirkwood (PS Your Cat is Dead, There Must be a Pony, etc.).  I also really like Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Peter Beagle (The Last Unicorn).  Oh, and Arthur Conan Doyle (Shelock Holmes). 

[Kaeldre]

Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, Stephen King, James Patterson, Tom Clancy.  Bruce Coville, even though he writes for kids, is still one of my favourites.

Honestly, I'm more of a 'genre' person than an 'author' person.  If it's sci-fi, classic sci-fi, true crime, horror/weird, or a book series that ties in with my favourite TV shows, then I'll probably read it.
