John Green. Read Will Grayson, loved it, and decided to go take a trip to Barnes and by the rest. Don't regret it at all.

It had to be Roald Dahl when I was about 8. After reading his book The BFG and then The Twits in school I had to read every single one of his books. I dont like his books anymore, they dont seem as great as they used too.

Stephen King. I read my first one (Carrie) when I was about 14 and have since read every book he's ever written.

Meg Cabot. Silly, I know. But they are so light and fun that I just couldn't help myself! I think I've read everything by Philippa Gregory, too. Two very different writers but I love them both.

I'm not sure who the author is but I've read ALL of the magic tree house books. I grew up obsessed. I still probably have them somewhere in the attic.

I was a huge fan of the Baby Sitters Club starting around 4th grade and had to read everything by Ann M. Martin. Then books started coming out faster than I could afford to buy them at such a young age (maybe she got a couple of ghost writers or something?) and I gave up after several spin-off series came out.

I was forced to read a lot of Tolkien at school and it isn't really my cuppa. I loved Virginia Andrews as a kid.

I would have to say, my first author to read "everything" by, was Stephenie Meyer. I read the entire Twilight Saga twice! She's a great author. Her ability to make others feel what is being portrayed in the book is phenomenal! :D
