My favorite is Julie Garwood, she writes historical romance but her last 3 books have been more mystery

(Actually my favourite book is the Bible. Psssssst!  I t ' s c r y s t a l s a n d d i a m o n d s)

My favourite author is Charolette Bronte, and my favourite book she wrote is Jane Eyre. I have never related to any character so much as Jane! Reading that book was a life experience, and like chocolate and tea, life just wouldn't be the same without it! I have made myself a life rule that I may only read it once every 5 years, in order to avoid risking reading it too much and ruining it!

Rowling is okay but why did she have to make harry a girl come on it's a female world,Just kidding.

My faves are Nicholas Sparks because he writes amazing romance stories that always, always make me cry, and Mary Higgins Clarks, because she writes the kind of suspenseful mysteries that make you stay up till 3am to find out what happens next!

J.R.R Tolkein  hehe he rights things realy detailed

[piethehamster619]

Lemony Snicket (Daniel Handler), because he never let's the good guy win and frankly only in perfect worlds do the good guys win, it's good to see someone write based off of reality (not to be pessimistic! ;) )

I have so many..
One would have to be Mathew Stover, his novelization of Revenge of the Sith was so powerful it made me cry.
Another Malorie Blackman she can make you really think and feel ashamed of yourself and makes you feel a characters emotionsso clearly.
Jane Austen because sometimes it's nice just to slip back into a little romance.
I'll stop now.

My favorite author would haaaave to be Victor Hugo.. When he wrote Le Mis, he used so much detail and put so much effort into it, it's not even funny. I mean, come on; 1,432 pages? I loved it.. <33

ones too hard to name. heres a list instead:
J.K. Rowling-her Harry Potter books are almost too real
J.R.R. Tolkein-middle earth was great to read about
Betty Smith-she wrote A Tree Grows in Brooklyn-the story of a young girl growing up in the early 1900's
Laurie Faria Stolarz-she wrote Blue is for Nightmares, White is for Magic, etc. its like a more realistic Harry Potter. she uses her magic to stop a murder and tries to save her friends. kind of more for older ppl cuz of the language

these are pretty much my favorite autors
