Stephen King has a very honest and cynical style in writing. I like the way he writes details and descriptions.
Mary Higgins Clark always write interesting themes with unexpected plot. I love the way she draws my curiosity.
Virginia Woolf is a classic author who is very critical and symbolist. I always love the ways she critics.
Actually I just read Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, but I really like it. The plot is very unique, full with morale views, messages, and symbols. Read the novel makes me think of many things.

Hahaha, so true. He is amazing of course and probably top of the list of my favourite writers.LoveHatesYou wrote:
ANd of course, being a lit. major, I have to love Shakespeare. He is the original ganster.
*~ Also C.S. Lewis, based on his Chronicles of Narnia - however I have yet to read his other 'Christian' works so I'll keep you posted on my position changing.
*~ Roald Dahl - he has a beautiful humour and a twisting way with language and character and context which both adults and children love.
*~ Enid Blyton - I attribute my most fantastical and happiest dreams of my life to her works.
*~ Christopher Pike - He has this crazy way of being poetic and succinct at the same time. His language is simple yet isn't condescending to Young Adults (his primary target audience).
He's a mixture of Anne Rice/ Stephen King horror with a pinch of Star Trek, the dry wit of middle America realising a bigger world, with a sharp grip on romance that is neither cheesy nor devastating.
*~ C. S. Lewis
