    And your favourite author is?

    I have a few I really like, but there can only be one favourite.
    Go on, make your choice.

    Mine, John Irving.

    I love Robin Hobb, particularly her Farseer Trilogy and the Golden Fool trilogy.

    One of my favourite books is The God Delusion.

    I also love a good biography, or autobiography. The one that I've enjoyed the most so far though is on Geoffrey Robertson.

    I googled this to see if it was a series on embroidery.

    Totally understandable with a title like 'Cross Stitch', this was the first book in the series which in the U.S. was called The Outlander. No idea why the title was changed for Australia.

    It is actually called 'The Outlander Series' with 7 books so far, the 8th is supposed to come out early 2013. Long time waiting since the last book, but it will be totally worth it.

    Well, since you asked -

    I have been seen with Jude the Obscure,
    I sometimes wander Far From The Madding Crowd,
    Though I do not have a Pair of Blue Eyes,
    I await The Return Of The Native,
    I don't think The Mayor Of Casterbridge was returned on the weekend,
    But I will not finish Tess Of The Durbevilles.
    ...
    ...

    - would have to be my favourite author, but there are a few others, like Richard Adams for Watership Down.
    Am.
    CC, Image editing OK.

    Oh! And if you're into war description, or just war, or just description, try Bernard Cornwell's "Sharpe" series.
    The opening pages of "Sharpe's Waterloo" would make you a pacifist forever.

    Belief it or not, Ben Elton wrote a book about war that "would make you a pacifist forever."
    But for this thread, you can only have one favourite author, so Am's quote and this post don't exist.
