Favourite Authors

Come on then... what does everyone read?

I personaly like horror novels.
Clive barker is my main man.

Stephen King is my fav. I've heard Dean Koontz writes good stuff as well.

It's all about Tolkien, and all the Tolkien-esque writers that model their stories after his. By this I mean that I like anyone who writes fantasy novels today.

B.F. Skinner

he's the man.

Can't say I've ever heard an opinion like that before.

Well, I make my books a little more different than his, but he's still my idol. I've read about 10 of his books or so.

Judy Blume......is Da uber cool

William Gibson, simply because Sci-Fi is awesome.

'Idoru' is actually the name of one of his books, and has a bit to do with music (though not edm).

Yeah, Robert Jordan, Salvatore, Weiss...etc. Any fantasy book nowadays is basically based upon Tolkien's work, but I never knew, did Tolkien actually come up with this, or just one of the first to publish a series of novels about it? I should check that out...

I like both of them, but I love Dean Koontz. I like his writing style better than Stephen King's.

well i havent read anything in years. but ill say gary pulsen cause i was forced to read a book by him and his stuff is nice.

Posted by Rodrico on Aug-06-2004 05:18:

Oh yeah, forgot to add in my 2 cents, R.A. Salvatore, Anne Rice, but mostly, I just pick up books here and there at random and just read whatever I can, Im hoping on checkin some Tom Clancy soon.

As for really good authors, I would say my favorite writer is Gore Vidal, the way he writes inspires me in every single way as an aspiring journalist.

Piers Anthony (he write fantasy novels too, but i don't think he copped his style from tolkien, read it and you'll know what i mean.)

robert jordan

best thing to read while releasing soome hostages though is "Uncle John's" bathroom reader! the series is the shiznit! they got short stories and random facts and trivia for quickies and longer stories if your in it for the long haul.
