I just wanted to know who is everyone's favorite author. I mean we have so many writers out there and I like various numbers of them, because of their difference in writing but if I had to choose just one it would have to be Nora Roberts. I just love her books they keep me reading and wondering after I finish. Sometimes I even want to write to her and ask her to expand on a book just so I can know more about the characters in the book and what is now going on in their life. Well I love her books, but who's books do you??

I've never heard of this author. I know what you mean about reading tons of novels and not remembering the authors. I love to read and sometimes my friends tells me about a book and I look into it and just don't remember the author. But I do know that I enjoy reading Nora Roberts.

Hey Sugarfloss. I haven't heard of her either, what types of books does she write? I know Ellen Degeneres but I had no idea that she wrote books. I knew she's written greeting cards, which are funny. So I can only imagine how hilarious she would be in writing a book. I see your interest in reading real life stories, it makes me feel like I know someone else who has gone through something that I have or I just never thought this could actually happen but now I know. Oh yeah, could you tell me of some of Ellen's book that you can remember that was a good read? thanks

Wow that's one hell of a name. I've never heard of him, but I wouldn't mind giving one of his books a try. I mean you never know what you like until you try it out.

It is hard for me to choose a favorite author. I have favorites for different reasons. Right now, a current author I enjoy reading is Jodi Picoult. When I want to read a good classic I will reach for a Steinbeck novel. A favorite health and wellness author is Andrew Weil. Too hard to really choose just one.

My favorite author is Dean Koontz. I've read Nora Roberts, but I prefer more action adventure type stories and not so much on the romance.

Hi thuynhu, during my childhood I was really indulge in reading those adventurous children stories and mystery stories. I had read many interesting and attractive books which were written by Enid Blyton. I had just finished reading the four long stories of Sherlock Holmes by my Sir Arthur Conan Conan Doyle, my favorite author, few months back. At present I am still reading his short stories. I enjoy reading his thrilling and exciting detective stories and the most attractive and the best among all is The Hound of the Baskervilles. Happy reading and posting.

I have a lot of authors that I love. I love Nora Roberts, Janet Evanovich, James Patterson, Nick Hornby, J.K Rowling, J.R.R Tolkien and so many others that I can't even name. I'm a big bookworm so you can always find me reading or if I'm not reading then you can find a book that's almost finished in my bookbag.

This may sound strange. I love Ayn Rand. I love her book The Fountainhead. Though I read just one book of hers, I consider her as my favorite. This book really hit the spot. It really influenced my life. I believe that as an author, you don't have to be in the number one booklist to be considered as the best. One book which makes an impact is enough. This book did it. That's why she's number one for me! Runners-up: JRR Tolkien Michael Crichton Paulo Coelhio Robert Jordan Umberto Eco JK Rowling Clive Barker Nick Hornby Jessica Zafra Neil Gaiman
