Didn't she do "Flowers in the Attic" and "Petals on the Wind"? Wow, that was great writing, but so weird!

Practically the only books I read are from Clive Cussler.
My most loved of all his stories is still I think "Raise the Titanic".
Other good books from him I read are
"Atlantis Found"
"Sahara"(Does anyone else think the book was not represented well in the movie?)
Then there are some Warhammer 40k books and the Halo series, but I can't tell yet if their good books or I just like them because I'm a fan.

I also like the book Star Wars: Republic Commando Hard Contact, I think it's by Karen Traviss, but I don't know any other book that she's written, so I have no opinion on the author. The book is just great.

In my Literature class we have being reading a large collection of short stories.
I found some of these stories very interesting.
The list!
"By the Waters of Babylon"
By Stephen Vincent benet
"The Story Teller"
By Saki
"The Cold Equation"
By Tom Godwin
The Cold Equation was very exciting, the end was tragic, but powerful. I would recommend all of these for some fascinating reading.

I really like J.R.R. Tolkein and his Lord of the Rings books. I hate the movies though... The elvish and Dwarvish languages he created are actually college courses in some places whee

Shinobi 1977 Shidobu Cloud I say that my list of favorite authors would be this: Michael Chrighton, Nobohiro Watsuki, Christopher Paolini, David Clement-Davies, and Yasuhiro Nightow. Other than that I am not a big book reader... funny, I don't like to read very much but I like to write and rp... Oh yeah, I didn't include my favorite manga authors. Well, I like both Rumiko and Kazuki Takahashi (Inu and Yugiou). I like Watsuki (Kenshin @_@ Oroooooo) and whoever wrote Yuyu Hakusho. Yu Yu Hakusho is by Yoshihiro Togashi. Personally, my favourite authors are: 1. Darren Shan- Cirque Du Freak 2. J.K Rowling- Harry Potter 3. Sanami Matoh- -FAKE- 4. Shakespeare- Playwright 5. Yoko Matsushita- Yami no Matsuei 6. Shuri Shizou- Eerie Queerie 7. Hajime Kanzaka- The Slayers 8. Maki Murakami- Gravitation

When I first read Rilke's Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, the prose was so beautiful and just--clean--that I felt as though I didn't deserve to be reading it! Ferdydurke by Wiltold Gombrowicz. Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum makes that illiterate machine-shopped DaVinci crap look like Where's Waldo. Diary of an Emotional Idiot, by Maggie Estep. A phenomenal debut novel by a relatively unknown kid my age named Mark Danielewski, The House of Leaves, basically reinvented literary postmodernism; it's a good, solid, chilling, and classic horror novel, and will be studied in lit classes three hundred years from now. A book called The Muse Asylum, by an author whose name I can neither spell nor pronounce is highly recommended to people who are up on their Pynchon/Salinger style death-of-the-author types.
My obsession with Harry Potter probably qualifies me for intense psychological counselling.
Just scanning my bookshelves:
Margaret Atwood (especially her short stories!)
Paul Auster
Dostoyevsky (not included to be pretentious; I really, honestly love his writing. I have the hugest crush on Ivan Karamozov, and Notes from Underground changed my life!)
Tibor Fischer (esp. a short story called "Bookcruncher.")
Jean Genet (swoon!)
Daniel Handler (both as himself and as Lemony Snicket; JK Rowling tells stories better, but Snicket is far and away the superior writer).
James Joyce (not being pretentious! I've read Ulysses, Finnegan's Wake, and even tracked down the super-rare Stephen Hero)
Franz Kafka (again, this isn't pretention; I've read everything he's written, including the Blue Octavio Notebooks)
Tom Robbins (mostly for rescuing me from this aweful place in high school where I was only reading Dragonlance, and not experioiencing any actual literature other than what the teachers force-fed us)
Will Self
Jeanette Winterson

I've started reading Deception Point by Dan Brown and it truly is riveting, I've read the Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress and I like his style of writing. I have A Briefer History of Time too by Stephen Hawking, collecting dust in the corner. I'll probably read that after I read Angels and Demons.

I don't quite remember the author, but I do know that the Bourne series is very good. I am currently re-reading the Bourne Identity. I can't believe how different the movies are, and not to mention they forgot a third movie for the third book!

Since I'm a rabid fangirl of YuYu Hakusho, I naturally know the name of the author. <3 It's Yoshihiro Togashi. XP Just a mental note...HIEI IS MINE!

Doktoro Esperanto heart Les Miserables heart I second that. 3nodding
J.K. Rowling is definitely a great author, and my dad has come up with another huge conspiracy theory for the HP Books. xD We're obsessed.
I also just got into Stephen King's works. It's refreshing to see an author so 'comfortable' with the English language, if you catch my meaning. heart
Also, Athena Nibley (Author and illustrator of Fruits Basket) is very close to my heart. God, I need help for my manga issues. D:
And that's all I have to say about that.
