Favourite Author

my all-time favorite author has got to be stephen king. i collect his books. i think he is brilliant.
i also like several other authors like jk rowling and jrr tolkien. but stephen king beat them to the top of my favorite authors list.

Hello aadesh! I like to read novels of any kind but most likely of John Grisham. His books are usually focused on courtroom dramas and legal thrillers. The first book that inspired me to read more of his work is titled "A Time to Kill." They created a film based on the story in this book and performed by Matthew McConaughey and Samuel L. Jackson. Although the movie didn't hit the chart but the book itself sold millions of copies. The story had touched me a lot. Other books that I like written by him are "The Pelican Brief" and "The Firm." I also like Stephen King's but we can usually see those in the movies.
I also like Harry Potter but the movies, i never had a chance to read the book.^^;;

Hi Aadesh,

I can give a huge list.

All time favorite book and author: love story, by Eric saigal for obvious reasons,..it talks of love in an easy flowing way. and characters are well etched.

someone mentioned road less traveled by Paul scott: thumbs up for that book, i find it a book with a heart.

but the book that started changing my life for the better is not such a well known book:or i have not seen many takers for the book.

IM okay Your okay: by Thomas Harris.
it taught me about transactional analysis, and i cud find my relationships growing better since, and it took me to lots of other useful books to the road of self discovery.

Tamilnadu crime novel writer "Rajesh kumar" is also my favorite writer in India.
Have a nice time!

My favourite author is DanBrown.Though only 4 books came from his hand,those books are excellent.I really lose myself in his books.They are very fascinating and I like the way he unveils the plot and the suspense is carried till the last

My favorites are Agatha Christie and Dan Brown. From tamil writers i would choose Kalki, Rajesh Kumar and Sujatha. Of all i like Kalki and Agatha Christie the most.

I liek JK Rowling and the Harry Potter books, but I think it is easier to go to the movies. I always thought I would get the series and read all of them. I just hink there are many things and many books that I would like to read but I just seem to never get around to them.

I have quite a few favorite authors, but if I had to pick, I would say Nora Roberts.

I absolutely love Stephen King and I'm a great fan of horror! I think that I have virtually read all of his books now and I'm waiting for him to write some more books so that I can grab those as well. I also like J.K. Rowling and I love her Harry Potter books, I think I have probably read them all twice now. The Harry Potter books truly help me to escape reality for a short while! I can read her words and experience joy, peace, freedom, release and a whole lot of other feelings. If I had my own way I would love to have my own library fill first and foremost with all the Stephen King books in existence and then the Harry Potter books. Andrew

I'd go with John Grisham books! John grisham is a lawyer, so he uses legal terms in his books and I learned a lot from his works. But I always make sure I have a dictionary right beside me while reading his novel because my vocabulary is not enough to comprehend everything. My favorite book is The Chamber. The plot is good, I even cried while reading the last chapters.. Sam was executed although Adam tried his best to save his grandfather. A very sad story but really worth reading. It has a motion picture right? But I haven't seen it. Does anybody know where I can download the movie?

I like reading novels, both classics and modern ones.
I think Jane Austen is my favourite one, for the classical cathegory. I loved reading her even whan my English was very poor. Same goes with J.K. Rowling. I guess the better written the easiest understood.
Other authors I enjoy reading, both translated and in original language, are Ken Follet and, lately, Stephenie Meyer. The Twilight saga is one of the nicest I've read, along with Harry Potter. I guess the films played a big part in both cases, but as often happens books are better.
Another author of romance novels is Diana Gabaldon. The first of her books I read is "Outlander", it's a historical fantasy. After it I bought all the others of the same saga.
I'm preatty into sagas, I must say. I hadn't realize it before.
