It changes a lot - right now I'm veering between Angela Carter and Fyodor Dostoevsky.

I love the book "One". It's the only one of his books I have read, but I just love it so much. My other favourite is J.R.R Tolkein because I love "The Lord Of The Rings".

I can't pick
just one. Angela Thirkell, Anne McCaffery, David McCullough and an assortment
of mystery writers. The one common element is that without respect to
genre they have the
ability to have you accept the time and place of which they write as a
real world with real people.

My favorite author is Jennifer Roberson. She wrote the Del and Tiger series and the Chronicles of the Cheysuli series. Her characters are interesting - they grow throughout the story. The worlds she creates capture my interest and the plots of the stories are unpredictable without being unbelievable.

All time, no contest, it is Homer. My favorite current author is Terry Goodkind. Special props go out to J.D. Sallinger, Tolkien, Herodotus, Plutarch, Ceaser, and Arrian. Also, Virgil is a pretty hep cat too.

Terry Pratchett is the author who's books I own most of... (nearly all of them in fact). I also re-read his books over and over again. I don't know if he'd count as my favourite though. There are lots of books that are the only one the author wrote, or the only one of theirs I've read, which I love to bits... Neil Gaiman, James Bibby, Jane Austen, Stella Gibbons... My favourite also tends to change depending on what I've been reading recently. I suppose I don't really have a particular favourite - will I don't know do?
