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.

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.

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.

Roald Dahl.

 

 

 

QFT.

Kurt Vonnegut probably.

Isaac Asimov, the best Sci-Fi writer ever. I've already read five of his books and I'm going on for more.

Follow the doughnut to my blog! :D

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:

She's from Ohio, like me \'

Probably Roald Dahl yeah, I read a lot of books in my childhood of his and whilst I don't read much now, he's always had a place in my heart :)

You lose, the correct answer is George Orwell.

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.

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.

Robert Ludlum =D> author of the Bourne series before they became movies

Also Vikernes' book "VarsmÃÆÃâÃâÃÂ¥l" along with his essays are great stuff.

Card is probably my favourite author, however I prefer his Bean trilogy more than his Ender one.

Clive Cussler, author of the Dirk Pitt series. he is the man!

Terry Pratchett wins. (Author of the Discworld series, plus a whole bunch of other books besides.)

 

And I like Tolkien too.

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.
