Hmm. Let's see...
J.K. Rowling. Harry Potter is def. one of my favorite series.
Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are two of my other favs; I love Narnia and the Lord of the Rings.
Philip Pullman. His Dark Materials trilogy is right up there on my list of favorites next to Harry Potter and LOTR and Narnia and everything else. I can't get enough of that series, so I reread it every once in a while. It's due for a rereading soon.
I have a fondness for Scott Westerfeld's works. I've read pretty much everything by him, except for Peeps and whatever the other book that goes with that is called. I'm not a huge fan of vampires and whatnot.
Tamora Pierce. Obviously, or I wouldn't be in this guild.
Stephen Lawhead. I haven't read many of his books but I enjoyed his Robin Hood series; it was really interesting.
Maud Hart Lovelace. She's like a sore thumb that sticks out on the list of authors I adore because she doesn't write sci-fi/fantasy. But she wrote the Betsy-Tacy series, which I absolutely love, despite being 19 years old.
L. Frank Baum. I'm almost as obsessed with the Wizard of Oz as I am with Harry Potter.
Dan Brown. Though his books do get formulaic after you read one or two, I still enjoy his work. The way he writes just hooks me in; once I start reading, I have to force myself to stop. But the again, that holds true with a lot of books.
John Green. You should read his books. Do it. They're amazing. My personal favorite is Paper Towns, followed by Looking for Alaska. Though I really love all his books pretty much equally, so it's hard to say which one really is my favorite.
Brian Jacques holds a special place in my heart because his Redwall series is what really opened the door to the science fiction/fantasy genres. I know they're more directed toward slightly younger audiences, and I haven't read those books in years, but when I was in sixth grade, I ate them all up. I read them constantly; I own every Redwall book except for the more recent ones because, to be frank, once I started reading more and more voraciously, his also-somewhat-formulaic-story-telling bored me. I love the older books though; absolutely love them.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head right now. Sorry that I felt I had to make this list a miniature essay. ahaha

biggrin oo fav authors
Charlaine Harris would have to be my number one at the moment, Author of the books that the HBO original series TRUE BLOOD is based off. I could read each one of those books over and over until I died.
Sara Douglass would have to be next. I have read every fantasy book she has written (every one but on of her books is fantasy) her latest series, is a bringing together of 2 of her series (leadoing on from each other) and two of her stand alone books. (I would like to point out i own all but one of her fantasy books)
other authors
Tamora
Tolkien
Garth Nix, one series only. the abhorsen ones. the others... disaapointed me after a few chapters
Jeffery Archer is good, though he is very different from others on this list
Joseph Delaney! even if i have to rove into the younger shelves to find them. haha.
lets see...
oh i love this parody writer... he wrote Barry Trotter. not sure what his name is though and i am to tired to be bother looking it up. especially loved his neat touch of putting in a tick-the-box hate mail in the back of the first book. He is so so funny.
hmm
George R. R. Martin I have only read one but i will be reading the rest soon.
David Eddings was quite good, i got wrapped up in his world until i started reading something else waiting for the next book... then i lost it sad the passion for his world that is.
its 4:09 am so i cant really think of anymore since i dont have access to my book collection and... its just so damn early. i will post more when i remember

Absolute favorite author ever is without a doubt Orson Scott Card. Favorite series, favorite book, and favorite character come from that guy. He is insane, and I intend to be taught by him. I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned. I am completely and utterly obsessed with his character, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin. It's hilarious how obsessed I am with those books and that boy. I feel a little ***** whenever I read Ender's Game, and I feel like HE'S the ***** in Xenocide and Children of the Mind. But even then, I'm still in love.
I also like J.K. Rowling, though it's more the books than the author. Has she done anything else? Ever? There are other authors that I like, but I mostly focus on the books, not the authors.
