Who are your favorite authors?  

Oh gosh, there are so many. :D I love JK Rowling, Robert Heinlein, Larry Niven, Robert Jordan, David Eddings, Michael Crichton, Anne McCaffrey, Jack Whyte. That's probably 1/3. I just can't remember them all. And, I'm too lazy to go look at my bookshelves. :D

Right now I'm really digging Jodi Picoult.

My favorite authors are R.L Stine(Author of Goosebumbs),J.K Rowling(Author of Harry Potter),Rudyard Kipling(Author of The Jungle Book),M.D Spenser(Author of Shivers) and Grid Blyton(Author of The famous Five).

Mine are Stephen King, JOhn Grisham, Dan Brown, Judith Mcnaught, Jude Deveraux, Mary Higgins Clark, Paulo Coelho, Sydney Sheldon etc

my favourite are JK Rowling, John Grisham, Dan Brown, Agatha Christy, and some local author from my country as andrea hirata and helvy

hi wiccania.. my fav authors are.. sidney sheldon.. n i simply adore meg cabbot cos her books r simply hilarious...
i.e. her adult books ive read all of them...i also like ayn rand... am readin' her book fountainhead...rite now..!!!

My absolute favorite is Neil Gaiman, but I also like Anne Rice, Poppy Z. Brite, and older Stephen King. I haven't really gotten into new Stephen King books.

Also, I really like Philip Pullman, though I haven't read much of his stuff yet. But he has a nice writing style, thus far. :)

Well I am very picky as far as who I read. But I do have my favorites and will try new authors if they are recommended to me. So to answer your discussion my favorite authors are: Mary Higgins Clark, Carol Higgins Clark, VC Andrews, John Grisham, Dan Brown, JK Rowling, and just recently started to read books by James Patterson. There may be a few other authors but they are not coming to my mind.

I have quite a few, but here are the ones that immediately come to mind:

Jennifer Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Janet Evanovich, Jane Austen, JK Rowling, Sophie Kinsella, Diana Gabaldon, and Alyssa Day/Alesia Holliday.

I read a variety of authors, but right now tho come to mind. Janet Evanovich and Nora Roberts.

I like the Stephanie Plum series from Janet Evanovich. Her character is fun to read and I just like her style. Whenever I've read a book in that series they were the type of book that I didn't want to put down.

I like Nora Roberts creativity. The Fairy Tale settings that she has. The one thing that has irritated me at times is that she seems to be a bit repetitive in how the couples interact.

I also like her JD Robb books. I've only read a few of those, but I intend to read more.
