Fame1977 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 This post is probably somewhere else. But I thought I would start and ask...What is everyone's favorite author? Mine is John Green. Anytime I get one of his books, I devour them. I get involved so much in the stories that I get nervous when it ends, since I don't really want it to end at all. My favorite is Paper Towns. TFIOS was good, but I don't know, it seemed that he tried too hard. I will be at the movie though. Link to comment
ALovingKitten Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Jane Austen and Stephen King. Link to comment
magnum13 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I love books that keep me guessing. I get really bored when I see where everything is going from page one. I really enjoy Jodi Picoult because she pushes boundaries and the endings most of the time are a complete surprise. John Green's TFIOS was alright, but all together pretty predictable. Lately I have been reading Stephanie Bond's Body Mover series and it keeps you captivated the whole book and ends on a cliffhanger most of the time. Link to comment
imsuperman Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Probably Stephen King because I've read like six of his books, the most of any author. Link to comment
zentoCC Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 At the moment probably Kazou Ishiguro or Haruki Murakami. But if you had asked me a few years ago Dean Koontz all the way, I've read over 10 of his books, he was the first adult author I read as a young teen. Link to comment

happpybear Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I have always loved Elizabeth Hay's novels and short stories, she has a way of saying so much with few words. I also love Vonnegut and the Bronte's Link to comment
hers Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Toni Morrison. Ken Follett. Malcolm Gladwell. Dennis Lehane. These four, I will pick up the newest book every time. I love Ken Follett too. Pillars of the Earth is my very favorite book in the world and I've read it probably 10 times. "A Dangerous Fortune" is one of my favorites too. Link to comment

Liraele Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Anne Rice, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Christopher Pike, John Green, Neil Gaiman, Jane Austen, J.K. Rowling, Paulo Coelho... I can't pick just one. Link to comment
silversoul Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Anne Rice, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Christopher Pike, John Green, Neil Gaiman, Jane Austen, J.K. Rowling, Paulo Coelho... I can't pick just one. What would you recommend by Neil Gaiman? I've heard a lot this name! Link to comment
Liraele Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 What would you recommend by Neil Gaiman? I've heard a lot this name! I really liked The Graveyard Book. Fortunately, the Milk is cute for kids. (Amusing for adults, too. ) American Gods is good... Anansi Boys is odd, but I still enjoyed it. Really, I haven't had a total miss with any of his books yet. I think American Gods is where a lot of people first hear of him. I like how he writes in general, so I follow his blog, his Tumblr, his Twitter... he's a very interesting fellow. Link to comment
silversoul Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks, I will check it out Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Ann Rule. She is an author of true crime books and they are real page turners. ...chi Hi Chi! Ann Rule is my favourite contemporary and I've read quite a few of her books. I think the best one was the one on Ted Bundy the serial killer who she had coincidentally worked with as a volunteer at a crisis call centre. I could hardly put that book down until I had read every word. Link to comment
Silverbirch Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I recently read raves about the American author, Philip Roth. I had never heard of him before but now keen to read one of his books. has anyone read any of his books? Link to comment

Snny Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have too many to name, but the only names that stick out the most are Harper Lee, Ray Bradbury, and George Orwell. Link to comment
Fame1977 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'm not sure if anyone has read it, but I would say read Me, Earl and the Dying Girl. It was funny. And uplifting. Sometimes it tried too hard. But I could not put it down. Link to comment
treesandbees Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 John Green, J. R. R. Tolkien, Catherine Cookson, C. S. Lewis, Stephen King are a few. Link to comment
