I never could read much books....They are very expensive around here.:(

But my few favorite authors are:

Sidney Sheldon
Nietzche(He was not a nazist,for God's sake!)
Edgar Allan Poe
Stephen King

I like him too. :D A little bit extreme but he's right most of the time.

Exactly!i'm glad someone agrees with me.:vsign: It depends of the reader,if you interpret him well,you can learn many things.:D

my favourite author is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry...
im sure you wont know him by name, but he wrote the best philosophic book ever, the little prince. if you dont know it, READ it, can tell its geniality here...

Gabriel García Márquez is my favorite author, as well as my grandmother's. She gave me her copy of Cien años se soledad (One Hundred Years of Solitude) for my birthday last year and I keep it with me all the time. My grandma highlighted passages and made notes on the sides of the pages, which I go back and read.

I'd have to say Haruki Murakami :D his novels are amazing.

J. D. Salinger
Anne Rice
Stephen King
Alexandre Dumas

I usually don't read by authors, but I couldn't help but become addicted to Ellen Hopkins' writing style (wrote Crank, Glass, Burned, Impulse, and Identical) :vsign:

Anne Rice
Stephen King
Catherine Coulter
Cassie Edwards
Michael Barnette (who is a friend of mine)
