So, who is your favorite author? Did they write your favorite book? Two of my favorite authors are Laurell K. Hamilton and David Weber. Laurell K. Hamilton does urban fantasy (Anita Blake and Merry Gentry to be exact) and David Weber does military science fiction (Honor Harrington and others). I'm hella digging on the Honor Harrington books, especially since it's so wildly different front my writing I don't feel like I'm working, hehe. My favorite book is I Never Promised You a Rose Garden by Joann Greenburg, however. So share here who your favorite author is and what your favorite book happens to be.

My favorite author is Margaret Atwood. Its hard to describes what she writes. She writes books that make me think and I like that. The last was I read was kind of a post apocalyptic kind of a thing, but it wasn't about life post apocalypse, it was about one man's view of things. It was a great book. I thought it was all about him finding somebody and when I got to the end I found out it was about something else completely. I love books that do that. She wrote Handmaid's Tale, there was a movie made from it.
My favorite book however is The Mists of Avalon. I really love that book. I will read any Arthurian Legend book. Marion Zimmer Bradley is not an author at all that I will read just because she wrote it. I have never had an interest in the Darkover novels.

Again, not my favorite author, but M.R. Sellars writes these fun to read pagan murder mysteries. They are about this Wiccan guy whose best friend is a cop, so everytime there is a a murder that involves the occult the cop calls Rowan Gant to help out. They are pretty good reads

I love Tate Halloway. She doesn't have many books out there, but her series about Garnet Lacey, a witch who has Lilith inside her and is with a alchemy made vampire is good reading. Its simple, and silly with a dash of romance, just the way I like it.
I think the first book is Tall Dark and Dead. My books went in a box in storage, since I am moving.
I also love the 1800's transendentalist author Nathaniel Hawthorne. He wrote the Scarlet Letter. His writing is great. I even did a whole research paper on him.

I'm a little ashamed to say that i have never read Nathaniel Hawthorne. Which one would you suggest I start with first?

I just rediscovered my love of Robert A. Heinlein. heart I started reading Starship Troopers again, which I haven't picked up since I was thirteen or so. He is a damn fine author.

The only Heinlein I have ever read was Stranger in a Strange Land, which is an extraordinary book, if you overlook the chauvinist pig attitude. But It was written before women's lib was in full swing. So it is easy to forgive. Other than that the ideas are so so so wonderful.
We use May you never thirst and may you never hunger for our cakes and ale.
