Stephen King satisfies my quench for horror and supernatural fiction and there is not one single book of his or a movie based on his novel that i have not found it to be a work of art.
Agatha Christie always manages to keep me on the edge of my seat whenever I am reading one of her suspense books.

But I also can't help but mention John Milton. Paradise Lost is a masterpiece, and I'll never get bored of reading his essays. Many people compare him to Shakespeare, disparagingly, but I believe Milton is just as noteworthy as Shakespeare. The only thing Shakespeare does a little better is write more prettily.

Neil Gaiman - not only as an author but also as an essayist and as a person. Also his sense of humour is just brilliant.
Philip Pullman - because His Dark Materials moved me to my bones and made me think about Big Things
Susan Cooper - I love her use of myth and Celtic / Welsh words and themes, and I think Will and Bran are my favourite characters
David Mitchell - his novels are like cross-crossing, overlapping novellas and his use of characterisation and detail is something I am very jealous of.
And there are many, many more: Ray Bradbury, Dylan Thomas, Jack Kerouac, James Joyce, Ursula K. LeGuin, Holly Black, Stephen King, Ronald Dahl, Karen McCombie, Terry Pratchett (he was a legend.)

J.k Rowling never fails at puting a smile on my face even when I am reading Harry potter for the millionth time.
Plus I can't forget to mention the incredible George R.R. Martin and the world he has created in game of thrones. Such a thrilling twisted tale full of adventure, wonder and magical creatures that isn't aimed at children for once.

My favorite author is AnnaLisa Grant. Her YA Contemporary novels one of a kind, and her characters work their way into your heart unlike any other characters. I would highly reccommend any of her books.Scott wrote: ↑01 Nov 2006, 18:39 Who's your favorite author? Why?
My favorite author is Henry David Thereau. I love Civil Disobedience. My favorite quotes are as follows:
I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe--"That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which the will have.Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.
