Mine is Francesca Lia Block. She is such an amazing writer. She's written, Violet and Claire, Dangerous Angels, the Weetzie Bat Series, I was a Teenage Fairy and some others. I wonder if anyone else has read her...?

Patricia A. McKillip. She's the only author who I'll read absolutely anything by. Her books read like a dream, it's amazing.

George R.R. Martin, however, is also amazingly good.

He's amazing! A Feast for Crows is coming out this year. :hyper: In November, if everything goes well. But because it's so long (About 1500 pages), he had to cut out half of the characters. So they're going into the next book, A Dance With Dragons.


:D

Sylvia Plath.

[Yamaneko]

Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov.

[Miriel]

Kurt Vonnegut, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jane Austen, and George Orwell.

[Germ Hamee]

Robin Hobb, the wonderful lady who wrote The Farseer, Liveship, and Tawny Man trilogies. Those of you that mentioned enjoying George RR Martin should give her a shot. It's great realistic fantasy that's more about the people than the sword and sorcery.

[Little Miss Awesome]

Alex Garland and Nick Hornby, I think they can both create very good characters, I like Richard in The Beach :p

[fire_of_avalon]

JD Salinger. And the people Miriel mentioned except Jane Austen. I also like Goethe, and JK Rowling [SHUT UP SHE DOES TOO COUNT] and a lot of others.

Ohhh, I forgot Chris Bachelder! He's only written one book so far [Bear v. Shark] but it's super fantastic and he's awesome. I studied under him and Cynthia whatsherface omg i can't remember and Guy Spears and Melinda Williams and it was amazing and good.
