Who's your favorite author? Favorite book by the author? Why?

My favorite author is J.R.R. Tolkien. I first read The Hobbit when I was about 13, and read the Trilogy in the next few years. I tried reading the Silmarillion then, but it was really over my head.

It's my favorite now, because it's all the backstory (and frontstory, too), even though it is written in an exalted chronicling style. Actually, I like the Histories even better, even though they are just a collection of his notes and the commentary by his son, Christopher. Overall, he's my favorite author because he created an entire world, weaving together the roots of lesser-known myths of Europe, inventing languages and writing systems, and doing it all with such a sense of wonder, beauty, and the reality of the depths of pain and evil as well as magic.

There is a lot of wisdom in the books, and characters both common and larger than life. Tolkien set out to create an epic mythology for England, and he did. My favorite author is J.R.R. Tolkien.

This depends heavily on the genre you are discussing. I worked in a bookstore for many years which resulted in gaining a large number of "favorite" authors... here are a few: Robin Cook - best book "Chromosome 6" - These are medical thrillers that really make you stop and think about what could be in the medical world. Michael Crichton - best book "Andromeda Strain" - As the author of amazing novels that have been turned into movies (Jurassic park, Sphere, Congo, etc) and TV shows such as ER, Michael Crichton is just an amazing man.

David Sedaris - best book "Me Talk Pretty One Day" - one of the funniest authors you will ever read and extremely informative as well. Mark Leyner - best book "Why do Men Have Nipples" - if you need a book that will make you laugh and actually give you bits of knowledge this is the book to find. Gary Paulsen - best book "Hatchet" (or any of the Hatchet/Brian series) - one of my favorite books as a kid, I still go back and read them every so often.

Lewis _The Screwtape Letters_ It's a wonderful satire.

Viktor Frankl is one of my favorite authors. "Man's Search for Meaning" is one of the most powerful books I have ever read.

Frankl was a psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor. He is considered the father of logotherapy, a type of existentialist analysis. Man's Search for Meaning tells the story of Holocaust imprisonment from the perspective of a therapist.

The stages we go through as we adapt to change are explained within this historical perspective. I learn about myself and the behaviors of others by reading this book. That is why it is one of my favorites.

Thomas Pynchon is my favorite author. His masterpiece, and my favorite book of all time, is titled "Gravity's Rainbow", and is a stunning literary tour de force.

Set obliquely against the backdrop of World War II, and in particular the German V-2 rocket program, it combines surreal psychological narrative and quixotic adventuring with equal dexterity. Pynchon is a master of allusion and embedded reference, and the narrative density is tremendous, but it reads so fluidly that you never feel stymied. The masterpiece of American writing, and easily the best novel published in the 2nd half of the 20th century.

Favorite author has to be Fyodor Dostoevsky. Favorite book by him, "Crime and Punishment," hands down. I'd love to get through this more than once, but it's so incredibly dense, that's it a little difficult.

I keep having to go back and re-reading. However, I did get through it a long time ago and will always keep it at the top of my list. It's an amazing Russian crime drama full of social and internal emotional struggles.

If you have a few weeks to kill. Pick this one up. It's an amazing read.

He is so gifted,though he lives so long before us. His work can cross through time and space. I value his Sonnets a lot,foe example,Sonnet60.

I love the sentence:'Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,so do our minutes hasten to their end.'..Very meaningful. The favorite book of mine by Shakespear is Hamlet.It is totally a comedy,but it is so deep and sharp. Somethings in life is actually inevitable.

How to face up to them. Everytime I have such feelings,I remember Hamlet,an immoral character which deepens our thought,..everyone of us should has his/her own value,just like Hamlet does. We should stick to our value and never give up.Do not hesitate and try be brave .

In recent times, Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon + the Baroque series. Those were just pure pleasure to read. I didn't want them to end, and for a long time, they didn't.

But Miller was just the master. As Lawrence Durrell said, the master in any age. Miller was more than just a writer, he was a guru.

His books are psychoactive. They change the cells of the reader. They rewrite your DNA!

His message, live absolutely! The books in my life. All time, Henry Miller.

Shame on y'all! :-D I don't want to sound vain but here I go, vain shall I be. I studied a bunch of literary theory at school and have read more than 1000 books in my life, maybe around 1500 already (I'm 29 and don't really count them).

If that doesn't make you picky with who you think is your favorite author, what does? My prediction is that he, Paul Auster, will win the Nobel Prize, because he's younger than Philip Roth (you read it here first), who's my other US choice. For my other predictions, read this answer: http://www.amazon.

Vince Flynn - Mr. Flynn takes great pride in researching his fictional stories to make them become truly realistic and engrossing.

Even his picture on the jacket looks like the mega-star hero he creates in his books, Mitch Rapp. "Transfer of Power" is the second book in a series about a 007-like character/hero who plays by his own rules. He's the guy all of us want to know.

One of my favorites is Tom Robbins and of his books, one that I have read at least three times is called "Jitterbug Perfume".

You may have heard of "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" (forget the awful movie that was made). It was funny, romantic, brought in a lot of social issues and all that about a woman whose thumb was so huge she could make anything stop on a roadside by waving it. If that isn't talent (Robbins I mean) I don't know what is.

Roald Dahl -- he has so many good books, but my favorite was "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More" (a book of 7 short stories, all of them fantastic). He wrote books for kids and young adults that are extremely exciting and fun to read, and that anyone under 80 years old would still find enjoyment reading. Some of the more famous books he wrote - Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, and Matilda.

My favorite author is Fernando Pessoa, a Portuguese writer & poet He was a very lonely man, even when surrounded by his friends, and - even born in the 1880s - he now epitomizes the spirit of the modern man, surrounded by techonology but ultimately alone and vulnerable. My favorite book by him is called "Book of Disquiet".

It is a wonderful, incoherent book made of quotes, thoughts, essays, and so many different but always compelling texts that make you think, reflect about your own life and the life of those around you. I love it because it is the kind of book you can always come back to and find something new for many many years. I strongly recommend it.

"Forever Amber" by Kathleen Winsor is one of my must-reads.

This book was published in the 1940s and promptly banned for its lusty heroine who sleeps her way to the top of Restoration England, becoming the mistress to the king. Despite the title character's selfish behavior and tendencies toward immorality, you find yourself pulling for her - especially since, as the reader, you know the backstory that makes the central love story (note, NOT between Amber and the king) so heartbreakingly tragic. This book epitomizes historical romance (but with enough grisly details of the plague outbreak to satisfy less romance hungry readers).

Sheer excitement and very timely! Makes you wish that someone Mitche Rapp was actually out there. Read the books in order if you can.

You don't have to but it makes the reading more fun as one story progreeses into the other and they also reference past situations. On a lighter vein, try Clive Cussler for pure fun with a bit of historical fiction thrown in for kicks. His lead character, Dirk Pitt, is a Saturday matinee in print.

Picture Indiana Jones in the water. Lots of fun to read. Sheer excitement and very timely!
