Kloffy Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 If your favourite is not well known give an example of a book they have written. :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_ross0 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 J.R.R Tolkien..it's obvious why. He created Middle Earth, gave detail to everything..put history behind every person and thing in his world, and just virtually made a second universe. If you've never seen the appendix in the LOTR trilogy (Who hasnt >.>), then go look NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nom Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I read way to much to have a single favorite author. The others might get jealous :XD: And I know what you mean about Tolkien, it's really something to be admired when you can create a world that's so believable.

BlackMaggot Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Chuck Palahniuk, the great mind behind Fight Club (the book). He's written many great books that I've read; Choke, Diary, Haunted. Haunted has many mini-stories within it, each more disgusting than the last. One of Palahniuk's short-stories, Guts, was read aloud and people passed out because of it's great detail.

llamster Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Margeret Peterson Haddix. She wrote the Shadow Children series. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldphishies Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Isaac Asimov, the best Sci-Fi writer ever. I've already read five of his books and I'm going on for more. I disagree, I love Orson Scott Card(Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow), he wrote my two favorite books of all time. A very gifted SciFi writer.

IGoddessI Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Dr. Wayne Dyer, Bob proctor, John Assaraf and Dr. Phillip C. McGraw (These are more motivational, life, philosophy, quantum physics, psych, business, money making authors) They kind of fill my shelf more than any other type of books :oops: The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.

Flametrooper Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Terry Pratchett wins. (Author of the Discworld series, plus a whole bunch of other books besides.) And I like Tolkien too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Clive Cussler, author of the Dirk Pitt series. he is the man! I read about 10 of those books. I found them to all be pretty similar, and had no urge to read anymore of them. Two fantasy authors I really like are Robert Jordan and Terry Brooks. SciFi I would probably have to go with Arthur Clarke. I'll also mention Ayn Rand here, since she is the author of my favourite book, Atlas Shrugged.
