Who is your favorite author and book and why?

A Romanian writer, Panait Istrati. He had this amazing life, with adventures and lots of traveling and you can feel this experience in his books. My favorite book from him is called "Culinii Braganului" and it's about two kids who run away from home following spiked-dry bushes (the only translation I could think for ciulini) across the Baragan fields. It's an amazing adventure book and it reflects the Romanian society of 1907 from a child's perspective.

I like Louis L'Amour, an American western writer. He writes a series on the Sacketts and of those books the one I like the best is Jubal Sackett. He is the American Spirit. He is always looking to see what is over the next mountain.

Hi Lelin I read that one to and loved it I like James Patterson to but other good writers are Louise Bagshaw Susan Lewis and Leslie Pearce I love their Books I have a few others to lol but can not remember their Names

I like Lord of the Rings, I have read this many times and always find new things to discover in these three books.

i dont have favorites... hmmm but i love stephen king, christopher pike, jackie collins, dean koontz, nicholas sparks... i love their stories. i prefer suspense, horror, drama books...

My favorite author is Dean Knoontz! I love his books because they take me to a whole different world!

only one? I love Anne MacCaffrey's Dragon books, and "Ship" books. I love Mercedes Lackey's Valdamar books. I love most anything by Orson Scott Card - well, not Hart's Hope and have had trouble reading some of them. But his Ender's Game and the Shadow books have been really great reads. I also like his Alvin Maker books, a great "alternate" view of things Lets see... Robert J. Sawyer, he wrote the novel they are taking the TV show Flash Forward from, and his Hominid, Human, Hybrid trilogy is AWESOME! I've just started reading Julie E. Czerneda, I'm working on her 3rd book and she's really got a knack for creating interesting aliens.

My favorite autor is Jodi Picoult because I love every book she writes!

Good morning Lelin, patterson is one of my faves to. I love to read & have read all my life. I like lisa jackson, debbie mccomber & a bunch of authors. I'm like u i love to het hold of a book i can't put down. Happy sat. to u.

i like anything by robert ludlum: the bourne writer. sadly he's gone now...

There are a variety of authors and of books that I like. By saying this, I mean that I honestly can't name just one that is my favorite. I really like all of Luanne Rice's books because of the fact that her stories draw me in and won't let me out until the book is over and even then I find myself yearning for more. I also like Michael Palmer because the books are so well written. I really can't just choose one favorite.

I like Peter Drucker and all his books. These are non-fiction, of course. For fiction, I like James Clavell, author of Noble House, Taipan, Shogun, etc. And Erich Segal, author of Love Story, Class, Doctors. For classical works, I like Jack London, author of Call of the Wild and White Fang. For books about war, I like John Keegan, author of The Face of Battle.

I love James Patterson, the first book I read of his was an Alex Cross one, and it got me hooked. Before that I only really read true stories, I like a lot of Torey Hayden books as well, really moving books. If you enjoy James Patterson then you would probably enjoy Lee Child as well, Im in the middle of reading one right now, he does a series about a character called Jack Reacher, he's really good, Ive read a few of them, Im currently on the first in the Jack Reacher series but it doesnt matter if you read them out of order.

My favorite author is Isaac Asimov. He has so many great books and short stories. The Foundation series is the one I've enjoyed most. One short story I like is "The Immortal Bard", it's about a scientist and a profesor of literature, time traveling and shakespeare, you all can read it from this page: http://www.angelfire.com/weird/ektomage/otherwriting/bard.html

My favorite series of books was a Christian Romance called Brides of Montclaire series by Jane Peart. They were a series of 15/16 books, depending on how you bought two of them. They started in Colonial Virginia and worked to present day.

I really don't have a favorite author, there are so many good ones. I did recently read a good book by Kay Arthur called "Israel My Beloved" and I thought her creativity in Israel's relationship with God was entertaining..

i don't know the author.this story whicn i have read is not only a book but also a film.it is called he's not just that into you.the lady who still pursues the ture love in the story is the same with me,i think.the most important thing she taught me is how to judge whether a boy likes you or not from his call in time.

I just love Dan brown's books. I also like Robert Ludlum. They both will keep you thinking and I just love mysteries even in films, I prefer those that leave you hanging every turn of events. A great complement after those two would be Paolo Coelho's simple writing style. If I'd have access in the future I would love to read Ann Rice's novels too or maybe the complete Sherlock Holmes series. I would have liked John Grisham's too but the problem is I'm from a country that doesn't practice "the jury system" in courts. When he writes something, involving each jury's stories is quite the most interesting parts for me. so it frustrates me that we don't have those jury.^_^

I love the original V.C Andrews. I could not put her books down. The ghost writer has a lot to be desired. There is also the Anne Rice series about the Mayfair witches that kept me captivated. I like James Patterson too. I think he wrote Black Lightening. It was an awesome book.

Paulo Coelho and Nichols Sparks were my favorites. Love their books.^^
