favorite authors

Who's your fave author? Include 1 or 2 books and their genre. I'll nominate Michael Moore, of Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's My Country?, Orson Scott Card of the Ender, Homecoming, and Alvin journeymaker series, and Julian May of the Pliocene Exile, Galactic Milieu, and Rampart World series. for more info on these guys (and gal), pm me or post.

i will nominate Tom Clancy, the author/creator of splinter cell, and executive orders, if you haven't read his books, go read 'em

i loathe tom clansy, but everybody's entitled to thier opinion

my two favorite authors are:
Miachael Chriton(i don't actually know how to spell his name)
two books by him: Jurassic Park(better than the movie) and sphere(the movie was actually almost just like the book but the book was still better)

and my other favorite author is Madiline Lingle
and my two favorite books by her: A Wrinkle in Time and Many Watters (both exelent books go reas them now!!!)

i will go with orson scott :childeren of the mind, Xenocide
alastair reynolds : revelation space , redemtion ark
and Larry Niven : Lucifers Hammer (a huge comet crashes into the earth its named lucifer your basic armaggedon theme) and all the man - kzin wars, and in my opinion the best sci-fi novel ever (next to redemtion ark) Aworld out of time

another good sereis are the area 51 books by Robert Doherty a mix of a military and a sci-fi novel

i nominate Douglas Adams

The Hitchhiker's Guisde to the Galaxy
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe
Life, the Universe, and Everything
So Long and Thanks For All the Fish
Mostly Harmless

these are the ultimate satire on science fiction

Orwell

Salinger (despite only one book of note, it's one of the greatest)

****ins ('Great Expectations', anyone?)

Joyce (Utter beauty and total maddness)

Karouac (On The Road, Dharma Bums...)

Hunter Thompson (psychadelic literary ramblings of genius)

Jospeh Conrad (Never more relevant than now, in light of what the US is doing in the world)

Paulo Coelho (simple beauty)

Tolkien (I think you know this one...)

Michael Chabon (neo-classic author)

The List Goes On...

We're censored from writing the name of one of the greatest authors of all time?

How ironic that the internet is supposed to give greater freedom of expression, yet restricts the words you can use...

stephen king (dreamcatcher, haven't seen the movie yet, but like to)
tolkien (lord o/t rings)

I love reading books, so I have to say my favorite author's r James Patterson "Along Came A Spider". Basically I love all his books containing my favorite detective Alex Cross. My other favorite author is Anne Rice "Interview With The Vampire", "Mummy", etc. Stephen King of course "Insomnia". There r alot more but too many, lol.

Stephen Hawking, of course. He rocks! His Space and Time was something I really enjoyed reading. I advice everyone interested in physics to read it.. It was a very interesting and intruging book.

HU, have you ever read "Stephen Hawking's Universe"
its a great intro to the universe and very informative about black holes

Hey new entry, Christopher Paolini: Eragon. Just read it, and it's not bad for a 19-year-old kid.
