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

Mine, John Irving.

Anne Rice

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.

Diana Gabaldon, the series starting with Cross Stitch

**beeps** · 11-09-2012, 9:26am

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.

Wilbur Smith - started reading his stuff as a teenager in the late '70s / early '80s

**courty** · 11-09-2012, 1:24pm

Hard to name just one as I like a couple of genre's but if pushed I'd say Cormac McCarthy
Blood Meridian
No Country for Old Men
The Road

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

Rachael Treasure (Tasmanian Author)

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.

**leanneqld** · 11-09-2012, 10:44pm

Agatha Christie

**FallingHorse** · 11-09-2012, 11:10pm

Stephen King

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.

Barry Crump.
