Quote from moritana
Ester Shtreit-Vertsel.
yeah, you ppl dont know her. shes awsome.
I know her, and I really love her. I've read many of her books a long time ago...
So, here's my list.
Alexandre Dumas (the father. way better in my opinion..~)
Lev Tolstoi
Mikhail Bulgakov
Antonio Libera (only read 1(madam), but it's just so well written)
Mary Doria Russel
Sarah donnent
I like war themed books... 🤨
I guess I could add some more, but most of the books I read are from random authors...
I read some of Wild's books and such, and even though they were quite interesting, I really couldn't get over his view on women... (shallow and gracless), adored men though~
When I was in sixth grade, I came across Dorian Gray, and after reading some, I asked my father whether he had something against women...
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

Great fan of books and novels here! So here goes my list:
- JRR Tolkien (LotR)
- JK Rowling (Harry Potter. Duh)
- Guy Gavriel Kay (Anyone read the Fionavar Tapestry??)
- Jane Austen
- Sidney Sheldon
- Mary Higgins Clark
- Sophie Kinsella (but Can You Keep a Secret?, and not the Shopaholic series... I'm not too big a fan of that)
- Luigi Pirandello (pure genius...)
- Dan Brown (Angels and Demons... i didn't particularly like the others)
And, well, I admire writers such as Shakespeare or Dante.... talk about geniuses!
Strangely, I am a fan of Fantasy books (as you can see from the first three authors) but I have been given the first of Terry Brooks's books on the Shannara series, and i can't get myself to finish it, even if I started it three or four times!!!!

I used to like JT Leroy... But we all know that was fake.
Now I'm a big Tim O'Brien fan. And forever will be a Roald Dahl fan. First books I learn to read to. And I still wish my dad was like Danny's.
Jim Grimsley and James Hurst also.

Orson Scott Card, defiantly. Frank Hubert as well, although I haven't read many of his works.
Also up there are...
Garth Nix,
Dianna Wynne Jones,
and
Tamora Pierce. (I know. I know. Shes so much fun though.)
Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?
Eoin Colfer (Artemis Fowl series etc.),
Anne Rice (You should know who she is),
Anthony Horowitz (my all time fav, Alex Rider series, Gatekeeper series),
Cornelia Funke (The Thief Lord, Dragon Rider, Inkheart trilogy),
Shakespeare (I love his works),
Zoey Dean (A-List series),
Cecily von Ziegesar (I need my GossipGirl <3),
Jonathan Stroud (Bartimaeus trilogy, a series that actually brought me close to crying.)
Ya know... Before I got into manga... I actually read books without pictures @_@. Now I can't read a book without my eyes hurting. It's like "ZOMG WHERE R ALL DA PIX??!!!"
Forever lurking...

I don't have a favorite author. I just read whatever looks good. =3
[color=green]Garth Nix, for his series "The Keys to the Kingdom". Brian Jacques for his series "Redwall". A tie between the two for me.[/color]
