Favorite Authors

[Librevore]

______________________________________________________________
Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, the Brontes, Thomas Hardy and Anthony Trollope. Sunday nights find me watching PBS. I also love Rosamund Pilcher. Favorite modern author has to be Francine Rivers.

Thought it might be good to bring this over to a new thread so the other off topic thread doesn't become too off topic.

Favorite English authors would have to include: Sir Francis Bacon, Sir Issac Newton, Daniel Defoe, John Wyclife, Shakespeare and Agatha Christie. I have eclectic taste. Favorite modern author-girl, we are on the same page here! Francine Rivers, hands down. "Redeeming Love" was awesome. I wouldn't read it for the longest time because the title sounded too "girly." Glad that a friend kept insisting. She has some other truly good ones also.(Edit-forgot to include Dickens!)

Okay, non-English author favorites? And does anyone else have some favorites they would like to share?

right now i only have time for my favorite author, Steve Gloer and team. I'm making my way through all his works. soon i will start one of his more popular ones - statistics. i hear it's highly rated and i can't wait to begin. i'm so lucky to have discovered his teachings. hilarious

when free time is more available i enjoy a variety of authors. i always read John Grisham's new book and i enjoy Michael Crichton's books. i like books were i learn something new, even if it is a small fact or concept. i think that is why i like science fiction, i like to look at common things from a different angle or viewpoint.

Hands-down favorite is Gene Wolfe (book of the new sun series is awesome). I also like HP Lovecraft, Crichton, Steven King, RA Salvatore (forgotten realms stuff).

My husband considers himself a literary snob... The unforturnate, or maybe fortunate (just depends on how you look at it) outcome is that there is a lot of literary fiction available to me on our book shelf. (He is also an Amazonoholic if you ask me!) Some of my favorites are:

Nicholas Christopher - Trip to the Stars
Jonathan Carroll
Michael Chabon - The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
Mary Doria Russell - The Sparrow (this is a great book, along with its sequel)
JD Sallinger - my all time favorite!
Richard Russo - Empire Falls

I also love Jane Austen
Poe is my favorite poet

And last but not least, I wouldn't miss a Harry Potter book!

Other notable authors:

Well, I'm late in joining this discussion, but I'd have to say that my absolute favorite author is Clive Cussler. I also really like Michael Crichton, Dickens, John Grisham. There may be more, but I don't have time to think right now.
