Favorite Books/Authors? Pretty self-explanatory.
My favorite author is Elie Wiesel. I love just about all of his books, but my favs are A Beggar in Jerusalem, Night, and Twilight.
I also love Alexander Dumas, especially The Count of Monte Cristo.

oh goodie. i love to read. currently my favorite author is Alice Walker just because she is AMAZING! Seriously, if you've never read Possessing the Secret of Joy, you should. It's unbelievable. i also love Madeleine L'Engle. she rocks my face off. And i'm really digging the poetry of Pablo Neruda. That man was GOOD!
Oh and i should be kicked for almost forgetting Neil Gaiman...OH and Charlotte Bronte and Jane Austen...I should stop now, huh?

George Orwell - I know he was a weird guy but I loved "1984" as an English teacher I have far too many favourite authors!

Oh, George Orwell is great! I've read several of his books. So good.

There are so many.
As my username may give away i love Dr Seuss, always have and always will.
As a teenager i discovered the poetry of Sylvia Plath, and then started to read all her stuff. Her book of short stories 'Johnny Panic and the bible of dreams' had such a huge impact on me when i was 12 or 13, and led me to start writing my own stories. I like Maya Angelou as a poet too.
I love Henry Miller, John Steinbeck, Patrick White, Virginia Woolf.
My mother was a big fan of the Bronte sisters, especially Charlotte's book 'Jane Eyre'. My mother used to read it to me as a bed time story when i was about 8 or 9 and tell me " Jane should of left Rochester - he was wrong for her"...LOL
Contemporary writers: Henry Rollins, Marian Keys, Belinda Alexanda, Peter Carey, Alice Sebold, Elizabeth Clark among others.

It's so hard to pick a favourite book. I love Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood. And The Life of Pi by Yann Martel.
And of course the Harry Potter books. :twisted:

I love Harry Potter. I am so excited for the next movie. And even more so for the next book, but that's a long time coming.
