Who is your favorite author/writer of books?

January 5, 2017 3:17pm CST
I have a long (a really long one) list of authors/writers that I like and I keep track of their work, but if I have to name just one, I would say Alfred Hitchcock. The stories that come out of his mind are so incredible, and the manner in which he writes is so interesting that it was impossible for me not to admire him for his work.

What I loved best about him was his ability to create movies that just fascinated and even horrified time after time. One of my all time favorites is Rear Window and I have the video. I can watch that movie over and over again and still find something I never found before.

@RasmaSandra, We have a copy of "Rear Window" here also and it is one of our favorite movies of all time. A classic!

It's impossible for me to name an all-time favourite, but at the moment I'm quite fascinated by the works of Ben Elton.

One of my favorites and she is a local author is Debbie Macomber. She is from Port Orchard WA which is only 30 mins from me. Most of what she writes is Romantic adventure with a little bit of a Christian theme to them. She even had some of her work turn into a TV program.

Never really narrowed down a list but Charles Dickens would be on my list if I did. I agree with you. Hitchcock was amazing!!

Hitchcock wasn't a writer but a filmmaker. Strangers on a Train was Patricia Highsmith, Psycho Robert Bloch etc.

There are many great authors who wrote excellent books. My list is speacially based on spanish authors, so maybe the won't be known like Javier Moro, Carmen Posada and Jorge Bucay.

I'm going to prove what I know here, but I didn't know he was an author - I thought just a director. Wow
