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...?
But anyway, who is your favorite author???
Robert Jordan. WoT series raock.
terry prattchet, definitely his discworld series is amazingly good :D
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.
:D
Marianne Curley
I loved "The Dark" and "Old Magic" <33
Timothy Zahn, who writes a variety of science-fiction, including Star Wars novels, and Clive Cussler, who's famous for his easy-reading adventure stories following hero Dirk Pitt.

Nietzsche is my savior.

Dickens, Steinbeck, Crichton, Grisham.
Lawrence Watt-Evans good fantsy books
Richard Mosher. I've only read one book by him, but it's so amazing, that I don't care, he's my favourite.

John Marsden.
Sylvia Plath.
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov.
Kurt Vonnegut, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jane Austen, and George Orwell.
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.
Alex Garland and Nick Hornby, I think they can both create very good characters, I like Richard in The Beach :p
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.
Interview!
*pats foa* Yes she does. + Anne RiceQuote:
