I was a big fan of Anne Rice (and her works under other names), but the vampire stuff and her endless descriptions of New Orleans became tiresome. But her "Cry to Heaven" is still one of my favorites.

Lately everything that has held my interest has been non-fiction, though.
Top of the pile for now is Jung Chang ("Wild Swans" and "Mao") and Irwin R. Tang ("Asian Texans" and "Gook, John McCain's Racism"). Tang is difficult reading for anyone, but the detailed information and insight he can cram into a small book is incredible.

That Twilight idiot can't write for crap!


Anyways I love me some Edgar Rice Burroughs! I love his John Carter series and Tarzan

I think Danielle Steel can be considered my favorite author. Her novels are all interesting and very amazing. Those stories she wrote impressed me much.

Terry Pratchett
Bill Bryson

I really enjoy reading John Hersey's books along Brian Jaques. I am currently reading the olympians by Rick Riodan. Its going to make a pretty awsome movie in 2010.

Yasutaka Tsutsui and Yoshimura Akira wrote the best books I've ever read. Yasutaka has this collection of short stories called Salmonella Men on Planet Porno, and Yoshimura wrote On Parole and they're both just so unbelievably amazing.

Ryu Murakami is amazing, too, but...too much gore.

I stil cant believe this thread is up and running still! LOL!

I wrote some up last year actually,

To add on
Emily Bronte-Wuthering heights
Oscar Wilde
Paul Theroux; the mosquito Coast
F scott fitzgerald: The great gatsby

I don't have time to read, i am too busy writing.

twilight is written by a female.

my favourite is by A. Dima "father" (The Count Of Monte Cristo). then comes Den Brown and his angels and demons.
