Jonathan Kellerman… no, Patricia Cornwell… no, James Patterson… do I really have to choose only one?
Jane Austen.
Christopher Lloyd for starters!
I think Jodi Picoult is brilliant x
I love Stephen King. He inspires me every day. I think he is the Dickens of our time.
Ah, a long time since I read anything from Stephen King. I still have all of his books until 2000 in Italian though.
David Eddings… Loved his “belgariad” series when I was younger. Or terry pratchett…
Gosh, that’s tough. Tolkien is a classic, but I also loved Tamora Pierce as a child.
China Miéville, his works are absurd, fantastical and gritty.
I hate to admit I read anything and everything.
Neil Gaiman, who incidentally, writes longhand with a fountain pen!
I don’t really have a fav, like a bit of easy to read chick lit to relax tho 🙂
Marian Keyes, funny poignant and a good storyteller.
Douglas Adams
Usually the author of whatever I’m reading at the moment.
Anyone who can write crime, Karen Rose, Lisa Gardner, Val McDermid, Janet Evanovich etc.etc
I think some of the kids writers are really good. We especially like Jeremy Strong and Dick King Smith.
Ernest Hemingway
I don’t have a particular one, but I like classics.
I love Barbara O’Neal’s women’s fiction books.
Neil Gaiman
William Summerset Maugham
Way too many to name. The question here would be how much time you got for me to list all my favorites??
John Steinbeck
I really don’t have one, I’m an equal opportunity reader. I also go in & out of phases with what I like to read & who I like to read the most. Douglas Coupland is up there though.
(Is it gauche/will I be disqualified if I point out that the question about writers has a typo?)
Orson Scott Card
I like jk rowling ,its easy reading
Frances Hodgson Burnett – a childhood favourite that I still adore reading!
I don’t get a lot of time to read for pleasure these days – but when I do, a biography by Iain Murray is often on my must-read list!
Patrcik Rothfuss
Keep it up.
J.K.Rowling/Terry Pratchett.Two of my favourite writers <3
I think Ian McEwan, probably. He’s amazing with characterization. He actually makes me want to write!
I don’t have a favourite writer as such, there are too many to choose from. But I do admit to lots of fond memories of Ray Bradbury’s books.
Jonathan Kellerman, I love his books though they inspire me to become a detective instead of a writer.
Those look awesome. Love the cyclamen color one. :o)
Danielle Steel – love her books 🙂
Modern writer would be JK Rowling, although I also love Charles Dickens
I don’t have a favourite writer – but I love the way the humour is written in “The Hitchkiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”.
Hazel Rea – @beachrambler
Hilary Mantel FAB.
enid blyton, she was the author of the books i first read, the famous five, mallory towers, brer rabbit etc, she made a fab imaginative fun world to escape into and i wish i could write books like that
JK Rowling as she has such a vivid imagination.
Catherine Cookson
Lee Child, can read one of his books in a day.
Nora Roberts / JD Robb
e.e. cummings
Jeffery Deaver brilliant at leading you down the garden path 🙂
Oscar Wilde
Kel Ellen Hirst
Catherine Alliott
I don’t have a particular one, but I like classics.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Colin Bateman 🙂
