David Eddings, Anne Bishop, Mercedes Lacky. Victoria Holt.
Then the clasics, such as Shakespear and Poe.
the brothers Grim etc.
I also love to write my own short storys.
I love fantasy. and the romance mystery.

I'm addicted to the Harry Potter books, the 4th was my favourite and the 5th was my least-favourite.
I would say Jean M. Auel, for 'The Clan of the Cave Bear', but it's sequals were wretched.
I liked the Golden Compass, the Subtle Knife, and the Amber Spyglass, by Philip Pullman, but they're the only books of his I've read...
I've read all 7 books of the 'Acorna' series, they were great, and were a joint effort by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, I think they're pretty good authors. 3nodding
I don't read as much as I used to, I work nearly full time and seem to find so many other things I've got to get done, however if I do find a book I want to read (Harry Potter book 6 is due out 10 days after my birthday!) I'll read during every waking moment not already claimed by work and cleaning. xd

Gwyndara Do you read Books? Are you a Book worm? Do you love to write poetry, or short stories. Well this is the place to discuss your favorite Authors and such, even if your favorite Author is you.

I love fantasy. and the romance mystery. I pretty much worship Anne Bishop. ^.^ David Eddings is good too but I've only read "Polgara the Sorceress". I used to love Laurell K. Hamilton but now her books are nothing but sex. Both series! I'm like "Can't you at least keep one of them decent and focused?" Anyway, I love Anne Bishop. And she's so nice too! She answers E-mails!

I am a total book worm. I am capable of reading several books in a day. A good percentage of my time is spent reading. I utterly love reading.
Favorite authors include Orson Scott Card, Ursula K. LeGuin, Anne Bishop, Robert Jordan, Kurt Vonnegut, Anne McCaffrey...and erm, I could go on and on 3nodding
I write. Mostly short stories and nonfiction peices, occasional (fairly bad) poetry, and a few attempts at novels I've never actually finished. I sort of want to be a writer, though I realize it's not too likely :/

Lisa Tucker The Song Reader
If you're a music lover, I recommend everyone to read this... it's a fiction book but it goes into how music that you listen to can tell you about your problems to others and hold the solutions too. I've read this at least 5 times.

Oooh, I love reading!
The top of my pedistal is the 'Harry Potter' Series! (Gem, what a great birthday present! ^_^)
Nothing will ever take down HP off of that higher-than-the-gods-pedistal that I have for it. It is absolutely the best books ever!
Other than that I can just pick up a book and read it. I'll spend all day and all night just laying in bed reading. It's one of my favorite things to do. Lately I've mainly read manga but I detour from those on occasion to pick up a slightly less graphic novel! (haha)
I really like Wally Lamb. His first book 'Girl Undone' or 'Girl Comes Undone' (I cant remember off the top of my head) was fantastic. It's a must read.
I like Dean Koonce, Stephen King. Just about any mystery writter I'll like! Im easy to please!

My favorite book series is The Sympony of Ages by Elizabeth Haydon. There's 5 books out for it and the sixth one should be out soon. Rhapsody is the first and the series is simply the most amazing fantasy stories I have ever read. With the mixture of magic, music and romance it quickly became the novel closest to my heart.
Currently I am reading the second book in the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marrillier (I think that's how it is spelled...) The first in the series is Daughter of the Forest a splendid novel that is definitely worth checking out.
Due to my cursed slow reading speed I find myself wanting to read several series at a time only to find another book that I have to read. So I do my best finishing a book every other week. I still have not read Harry Potter simply because I have the feeling that it is overrated. I do not doubt that it is a good series and all, but I think it has gotten far more attention than necessary where many other astounding novels are hardly even mentioned. I figure I'll read Harry Potter eventually, it's just not on the top of my list.

You all have given me an aweseome reading list for this summer. ^.^ Unfortunately, I don't have the time to read until then. Unless it's a text book or work manual. gonk

I write poetry.. Not every day and such.. Just when I get a good idea.... I read alot also mostly the same books as video games... xp
Everyone, excluding my brother Josh and me, are obsesive readers. (I'd fall in the cadigory if I read more... I read when I want to, when I'm not to busy watching movies or playing video games. xp ) They own tons of books...... I dunno if they've even read them all or not, that or they dont remember reading them... sweatdrop
I like Francesca Lia Block, Poe, Shakespear, Richard Pini, Isobel Bird, Stephen King, T. J. Bradstreet, theres more I just cant think of them
