After reading The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier, I knew I had to read more books by this author.

I love how almost all his books have the bad guys win in the end.

John Grisham's writing is just perfect!

Some 23+ years ago (I'm not that old ), a lady invited us to her house to lunch. We were so amazed at the collection of classics she displayed in 'her library'. She let us pick from her several collections and borrow them. Boy, we were so happy! My daughters (in their early teens) and I gorged into the books in that so short of time. And then, we borrowed some more.

That's how we learned about the authors we or I learned to love and follow their work. And then, searched for their books from second-hand bookshops, Op-shops, antique stores, garage sales, and later in the years--online.

Authors and their books I love (not necessarily in order of preference):

1. Pansie ( Isabella Alden) e.g. Judge Burnham's Daughter
2. Rev. E.P.Roe He Fell in Love with His Wife...
3. Hesba Stretton
4. A.L.O.E.
5. G.A. Henty
6. Helen Simonson (Modern)
7.Adrian Plass
8. K.M. Weiland
9. Vladimir Jabotinsky
10. Menachem Begin, White Nights
11. Bill Watterson Calvin and Hobbes
12. Charles M. Shulz Peanuts

13. John Grisham
14. Chaim Potok
15. Greg Gutfeld
16. Michelle Malkin
17. John MacDonald
18. Ben Shapiro
19. Mark Dice
20. Sally Fallon Nourishing Traditions: The Book that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats
21. Randy Ingermanson books
22.Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes
23. Charles Dickens Oliver Twist and others
24. Joel C. Rosenberg
25. Andrew Klavan Empire of Lies
26. Anne Coulter
27. Monica Wood
28. Jonah Goldberg The Tyranny of Cliches
...

*** Sorry about the list. I couldn't make up my mind about "Who is my most favorite" They're all equally superb authors I love and follow.

Patricia Briggs with the Mercy Thompson series is probably my favorite of all time in fantasy genre. It has Native American legends/fables/supernaturals but all the regular supernaturals (fairy,vampire,werewolves,shapeshifters) too.

C.C. Hunter books are great fantasy,has a good story flow, & has all different kinds of supernaturals/paranormals

P.C. & Kristen Cast with a different kind of vampire series.

Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, & Magnus Chase Series by Rick Riordian is probably my second favorite. You can enjoy these books no matter gender or age. I love how he incorporated Greek, Roman, & Norse mythology into his series.

Skip Beat! by Yoshiki Nakamura is probably one of my favorite mangas to read, I love to read manga when I want something different but easy to read. I love the comedy and the story of the characters, it’s also nicely drawn.

Twilight by Stephanie Meyers.

Harry Potter by JK Rowling.

I could keep putting many of my favorites of both novels/manga but it would be very long. The above mentioned are my all time favorites.

[Bookgirleva]

Diana Gabaldon who wrote the Outlander series, and Marion Zimmer Bradley

[Joe Hadithi]

Mahfouz Naguib. I only dream that one day I can play with words the way he did.

[Ali hamza]

ilama iqbal pakistani author.

[KCWolf]

Tolkien and C.S. Lewis because their works filled my imagination at a young age and therefore influenced my entire life.

Me too! Also, Hans Christian Anderson and Lewis Caroll can be included on that list for me.

I also love Agatha Christie.

[julece]

my favorite author is China Achebe and Anna Todd
I love things fall apart and after

there writing inspired me a lot
It thought me a lot

[Kirigwi254]

My favorite authors are Kevin Kwan and Chinua Achebe. These are two authors who have chosen to write their books in their native languages and have gone on to become acclaimed authors. Plus they have amazing content in their books.

[Ayodave]

My favourite author is Chimamanda Adichie,she authored Purple hibiscus which brought her to limelight and others e.g Americanah.

[Shalomsamuels1]

Brandon Sanderson would have to be one of my favorites. He is consistently great and I don't think he has reached his full potential yet. George R. R. Martin is also great but besides for A Song Of Ice and Fire his other writing isn't that impressive. J.K. Rowling has the same issue. She wouldn't be able to replicate anything even close to Harry Potter. (Case in point, Cursed Child *shudder*). John McCrae (a.k.a. 'Wildbow') is also one of my favorites as Worm is my favorite book. Honorable Mentions: Pat Rothfuss, Rick Riordan.

[Juliar252]

Mitch Albom and Mary Oliver are currently my favorite authors. My favorite works by Mitch Albom are Tuesdays with Morrie and The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto because they are written in a light writing style but the stories have so much depth and meaning. My favorite work of Mary Oliver's is her collection of essays titled Upstream. I particularly love her connection to nature and her unwavering belief in the power of art.
