I was a big fan of Anne Rice (and her works under other names), but the vampire stuff and her endless descriptions of New Orleans became tiresome. But her "Cry to Heaven" is still one of my favorites.

Lately everything that has held my interest has been non-fiction, though.
Top of the pile for now is Jung Chang ("Wild Swans" and "Mao") and Irwin R. Tang ("Asian Texans" and "Gook, John McCain's Racism"). Tang is difficult reading for anyone, but the detailed information and insight he can cram into a small book is incredible.

I think Danielle Steel can be considered my favorite author. Her novels are all interesting and very amazing. Those stories she wrote impressed me much.

I really enjoy reading John Hersey's books along Brian Jaques. I am currently reading the olympians by Rick Riodan. Its going to make a pretty awsome movie in 2010.

Yasutaka Tsutsui and Yoshimura Akira wrote the best books I've ever read. Yasutaka has this collection of short stories called Salmonella Men on Planet Porno, and Yoshimura wrote On Parole and they're both just so unbelievably amazing.

Ryu Murakami is amazing, too, but...too much gore.
