Who is your favourite author????

David Brin for me, no doubt.

Gotta name two very different authors:

1. Lord Byron
He's probably the Heath Ledger of dark romantic, and he created the "Byronic Hero", an archetype that's still up-to-date. As a part of my final exams at school, I wrote a 24-pages-work about him. Want to see a few Byronic Heroes? Watch "Batman", play "Devil May Cry" or, for the anime fans around, take a look at Sasuke Uchiha from "Naruto". If you neither want to read (I recommend "Manfred"), nor want to watch anything, listen to "The Byronic Man" by Cradle of Filth.

2.Haruki Murakami
A Japanese one. I love "Kafka on the Shore", since it is full of wisdom and individuality, combining elements of science-fiction/fantasy and reality. Moreover, Murakami manages to create simple-to-read-but-hard-to-understand-novels that leave you behind thinking- he's not "fastfood". It took me a few days to understand all his parabolic elements. "Hard boiled wonderland" is a little easier, though, but still great. And I can guarantee that no one who reads a Murakami for the first time will get the feeling of already having read something similar.. that guy is unique.

[Cardboard Book]

Darren Shan is my favourite author :-)

I would have to Add Gregory Maguire to my list of favorite authors.

I'll have to add Wells brothers, for writing "War of the Worlds" and making "that" big confusion in USA with their radio broadcast.



uh oh, also, @Cardboard Book, that sig is EPIC! I likes.

[Impulsand]

Piers Anthony for me.

As far as his sig goes, it's from this; and it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Even though it satirizes a really scary historical period.

[Tartan Waft Esquire]

The Alchemist
J.R.R. Tolkien

H G Wells (author) and Orson Welles (broadcaster) weren't related. The first was British, the other was American. I'm not sure, but I don't think H G Wells was around when Orson Welles did his broadcast of War of the Worlds (without adequate warning for the listening public). H G Wells is a good early sci fi writer, I like War of the Worlds and First Men in the Moon (where a scientist makes a paint that cancels out gravity). The Time Machine is depressing, however.

My favourite author is Anon. He seems to have written a lot

Wait... wait.. I'm really sure I've read somewhere about his brother helping him. Either that or I made it up.. :S

Thanks for the correction.
