Douglas Adams, Richard Dawkins, Jostein Gaarder, Nick Hornby,J.K. Rowling,J.R.R Tolkien, Margaret Atwood.
Oh, I love Jonstein Gaarder too! His books are hard to find though, except for Sophie's World and Solitaire Mystery.
I've read those two(I didn't really like the Solitaire Mystery). I also liked the Orange Girl a lot too even if it's written for a younger audience(like most if not all of his books i guess)

Thanks for the link, Nelo.
I go away and suddenly the spammers are the mods. Okay, I can adjust to that, but... Gorath?! And what's up with Mam's not being the top poster?

My absolute favorite author would have to be Issac Asimov and I would put Orson Scott Card right behind him.

I'm horrible at remembering the names of authors >_>
Stephenie Meyer, Dan Brown, Khaled Hosseini, Louise Rennison, Marianne Curley, and Diane Duane
I like Mark Haddon's book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time a lot <3. The big atheist writers Harris, Hitchens, Dawkins, and Dennett. I was going to put J.K. Rowling but after the last two books it is more accurate to say: "The author of books 1-5 of the Harry Potter series and all of the hilarious fanfiction authors." I love fantasy books, but not limited to them.
