I think my favorite author is Michael Palmer.  Although I do enjoy readying Bentley Little, Tess Gerristan, Robin Cook.  I will read almost any author as long as the book is good.

Favorite of all time?  That's really, really tough.  I'd have to say it's a toss up between L. Ron Hubbard and JRR Tolkien.  I don't think I can choose between the two.

Don't have an all time favorite but right now my favorite is Haruki Murakami.  I'm in the process of reading all of his books.  They are extremely interesting.

Kahlil Gibran is my favorite author. I feel his writings are deep and insightful. They bring comfort and peace to the reader and I feel that is the mark of a good author. I began reading his works when I was a teenager. It has always been the same he is still after so many years my favorite. :angel11: :angel11: :angel11:

I like Vince Flynn--his novels are great and I can't put down one of his books.
I also like Bill Clinton's books.

Gail Sheehy.  She wrote "Passages" and "Pathfinders."  "Pathfinders" is a must-read for everyone.  A simplistic way to describe it is that it is about living to the max, but it is so much more than that.  It changed my life.  I really need to read it again as it has been many years since I read it.  She has also written many other books.  I just bought the most recent one.  :)

You're all too high brow for me; I've got too much angst in my life so I like to read light hearted stuff. I've got lots of favorites, but for fun and sexy - Jennifer Cruisie.

My favorite is F. Scott Fizgerald with Hemingway coming in at a close second.  Their use of metaphors and similes makes me use my mind more as I am rolling through their stories.  I love the era of the twenties.  Voltaire was good at this as well and I liked the eroticism that was incinuated into everything that he wrote.  For more, quick, schlocky reading I can dig into a John Grisham, Stephen King or Jeffrey Archer book...usually good when I am on a flight that goes more than three hours.

I don't think that I could pick an all-time favorite writer. There are so many writers that my household has every book that they've ever written. :) Stephen King, James Patterson, Christine Feehan, Lynn Kurland, Matthew Reilly, Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child....etc.


Right now I'm leaning towards the paranormal (werewolves, vampires, witches, fairies) and lately people have been bugging me to read the Twilight series especially since I absolutely LOVED The Host. I think that's going to be close to the top of my list of things to read next.
