Favorite Writers

Terry Pratchett is my absolute favourite and I re-read again and again, finding more different layers to the humour - I'm not always that quick to pick some of the more subtle ones up. I like Tom Holt, Anne Rice, Raymond E fiest, AA Milne will read any myths, legends etc I can find. I use d to read a lot of James Herbert and Stephen King a few years ago, I like a good horror story.

Great writes, I don't have a favorite, and still don't knoe Terry Pratchett (shame on me). My list would include (but not limited to) Frank Herbert J.R.R. Tolkien H.P. Lovecraft Edgar Allan Poe Stephen King

Well I have several favorite writers. Piers Anthony for one. I've loved all the books I've read by him. Stephen King, V.C. Andrews, Christopher Pike, Elizabeth Moon, Anne McCaffry, Kathleen Woodwiss, Johanna Lindsey, Anne Rice, Nora Roberts just to name some. I read a lot of books and a variety of styles. I do prefer fiction though and not real life stories although I have made a few exceptions to that. I like romance, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, mystery hehehe just about all types. Reading has been a big part of my life for a long time and I think it always will be.

That's a really difficult question for me. Almost as hard as chosing a favourite song! Here goes anyways... Neil Gaiman is a huge favourite. For his comics as well as his fictional novels. Tom Robbins never ceases to amuse me, I haven't read a book of his yet that I haven't liked. Laurie R King is fairly light, but it's nice to read 'light' every now and again for a bit of escapism. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Alice Munro, Armistead Maupin, Julia Cameron, Patrick Gale are a few other authors I enjoy.

Stephen King, John Sandaford, John Grisham

Armistead Maupin, Stephen King, Anne Rice and Toni Morrison; not necessarily in that order.

Sitting pretty high in United States, you have the whole world to express your opinion. As such, I would say that the best writer is yourself. Everyone is endowed with a gift to write, it is another matter that you may not utilize it. Knowledge is abounding in the world and making use of the knowledge and putting down in print is the best way to convey your thoughts, which will appear unique for those reading it. You I say are the best writer. Your views are unique, just as they are for the myLot.com family. So take my advice and allow your views to generate for the learning of others.

I agree with you on Stephen King and Lovecraft. Never heard of Terry Pratchett. I also enjoy Ann Rice, Ann Rule (true crime stories), and Patricia Cornwell.

in abroad i think stephen king.. such a good writer when it comes to horror.. and locally i think bob ong.. i love the way he writes with such light on the character and it makes you hear your lauhgs again.. another thing i like with bob ong, is that he is not attached to the rules and principles of writing. new kind of approached

ahh i was just waiting for such a topic to pop up :) my absolute favorite is tanith lee (anne rice lovers might appreciate some of her work). she is SO prolific, and a lot of her books written in the 70's hold water even today. a lot of futuristic stuff and theologic themes, all with a fascinating imaginative way of telling stories. i also like ito junji (who's in fact a manga artist). his stories are incredibly detailed and horrific. others i enjoy, edogawa rampo (the japanese answer to edgar allan poe), douglas coupland, peter straub, banana yoshimoto and stephen king, though i haven't read many of his books. i really wanted to read the stand but just couldn't make a dent after getting through about 300 pages :) but the shining is one of my all-time favorite books.

I love Terry Pratchett. My favorites are Neil Gaiman, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Poppy Z. Brite, Robert Charles Wilson, Diana Wynn Jones, Shirley Jackson, and Gene Wolfe.

HP Lovecraft, eh? Hence your name. I knew it! :) I must say that I'm very fond of Lovecraft and King myself. I could add Poe to my list, as well as Baudelaire if you consider a poet to be a writer too.

my favourite writer is PAULO COELHO he is a good writer and he his works consist mostly of philosopy and he is the one who has given so many new thoughts and new ways of thinking while reading is always benefitial if u go on reading autobiographies so selecting a particualr writer is always a tough choice if u ask someone who is well read

my favourate is john grisham!

Laurell K. Hamilton Anne Rice Patricia Cornwell Patricia C Wrede Poppy Z Brite Dean Koontz Francesca Lia Block Christopher Moore Jane Austen

for me it is cleary terry pratchett ive read just about everything the man has written and dont think ive read a bad book most of them havwe me literally roflmao but also deeply insightful

I love stephen king's horror writings. The best novel i read was misery

I love Jean M Auel also: Elizabeth Lowell Lavyrle Spencer JK Rowling Isaac Asimov

Kelley Armstrong, Janet Evanovich, Angela Carter, Roald Dahl, Allan Alhberg, JK Rowling, Terry Pratchett.... And possibly some others. I tend to go for books rather than authors, but a few of those are series writers. I'm really picky about books too, and, If I'm honest, Allan Ahlberg is the writer I find the least faults with. He writes kids books and poetry. He's been my hero along side Roald Dahl since I was little. HP Lovevraft. I recognise that name, But I'm sure I've never read his stuff...
