hmmm. they sound like good books. i'll have to try and find them. i'm searching for something interesting to read. my history teacher is making us read ghost ship. pretty boring

John Steinbeck, J.D. Salinger, Dan Brown, Gail Tsukiyama, Amy Tan, David Gutterson, and serveral others.

I do enjoy J.R.R Tolkein and Douglas Adams too.

Hello. I love to read, although because of my school schedule I've been kind of behind lately. I love Garth Nix, he's one of my top authors. I've discovered my sudden love for Charles de Lint, but I haven't read much by him yet. I'm also a big fan of Holly Black and Libba Bray. I've got too many authors that I love to sit here and name them all. Those are a few of my favorites at least. ^_^

Finally! Some one else who likes Holly Black. ^_^

I rarely meet people who have heard of her. It's really sad too because she is amazing. I can't wait until next year when she releases Ironside. She has a hilarious live journal, too.

I like Holly Black but everytime i try to hold Valiant someone snatches it from me. Damn librarians don't know what they're doing.

My favorite author above all would be David Clement-Davies. But that's for people who don't mind a lengthy read.

Roald Dahl is my favourite. I wondered why no one mentioned him. Others are Robin Cook, Mitch Albom, J.R.R Tolkein and some other people because I can't remember their names. Yes, Dr Suess though I can only remember reading about the elephant hatching an egg.

Roald Dahl (still luv them bks!!)

@meim- I luv Roald Dahl, you just can't beat his children's books. i have his whole collection, n i'm never gonna let them go!!! :P

my alltime favorites would be: Darren Shan (the greatest ever), Holly Black (gotta love Tithe), Amelia Atwater-Rhodes (i'm a sucker for a vmpire book), Edith Patou (I loved East), Stephen Cole (the Wereling was awesome), Neal Shusterman (I love mind bending books), Vivian Vande Velde (once again another vampire book), and the BEST i've read so far Stephenie Meyer (OMG!!!!! Twilight is the greates book ever written even if it is about a vampire and a human)

My friend read Twilight for a project and made a movie trailer. Personally, it didn't sound to good.

As for my favorite, I perfer favorite books to favorite authors, but I've got some. J.R.R. Tolkein (Lord of the Rings), George Orwell (1984, Animal Farm) Madeleine L'Engle (Wrinkle in Time), Sophoceles (Antigone, Oediups), Edgar Allen Poe (Black Cat, Tell Tale Heart), Ray Bradbury (the king of Sci Fi)(The vedlt, Farenheit 451) .

I've read far too many books to pin myself down to a single favorite, but I'll give you a few:

Robert C. O'Brien ("Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of N.I.M.H." :worship: ), Margery Sharp (the "Miss Bianca" Fantasy series), Larry Bond (Military Fiction/Technothrillers), Dale Brown (the "Old Dog" and "Dreamland" Air Combat/Technothrillers), Tom Clancy, Stephen Coonts (the "Jake Grafton" Naval Air Combat/Technothrillers), Clive Cussler (the "Dirk Pitt" Adventure/Technothrillers), Richard Herman (Air Combat/Technothrillers), David Poyer (the "Dan Lensen" Naval Combat/Technothrillers), etc.

The above is really just a fraction of what I read. I'm also reading at least one non-fiction book as well.

I can be blind sometimes, moonstalker, hahaha. Did anyone here read "Flowers for Algernon"? My favourite book but I can't remember the author.

I read that too, touching story. But I don't remember the author.

I read that too, touching story. But I don't remember the author.

I thought it was a little sad, but then it really makes you think. The author is Daniel Keyes.

My favourite authors are:
- Matthew Riley
- Brian Jacques
- Lemony Snicket (I still enjoy these, even though they are aimed at smaller kids)
- Jack Heath (I know this guy, he's released one book here, and its sold out... plus its a good read)
