Ooh Edgar Allen Poe is a good one.
I can't honestly say that I have a favorite though. I enjoy what's good.
I have always been fond of Emily Dickinson literature.
If I had to pick one I would pick her.

Not really many in particular. But I like Edgar Allen Poe and Emily Dickinson as poetry authors. Hm... Stephen King writes good stories I think.

Garth Nix is a wonderful writer! I absolutely adore his books!
Eoin Colfer has a wonderful way of crafting his stories which make me love him so much! I love his book The Wish List!

I love Poe too ^_^.

Though I'd probably say my favorite is P.G. Wodehouse, closely followed by Conan Doyle

Poe is okay, and Garth Nix is absolutely amazing, but have any of you read Anne McCaffrey? She's got to be the best ever. She's sort of half science fiction, half fantasy, but her later books are really really good.

Her Crystal Singer trilogy is most definitely sci fi, and absolutely wonderful. Her Dragonriders series is half and half, but the later books get really sci fi once she introduces the thinking computer...

The one from her series that I was actually thinking of, though, is Dragon's Blood, and it's by her son, Todd McCaffrey. It's really good; it's all about genes and DNA and viruses and such. So good...complicated though.

So, Anne McCaffrey is definitely a favorite, as is JK Rowling (so sue me, yeah?), Tamora Pierce, Garth Nix (as stated above), Diane Duane, TA Barron...*could rant for hours, but will stop now*

I'm fond of quite a few of the authors mentioned here. However, my all-out favorite currently is S.L. Viehl. As of this writing, she has 11 books. Eight are in the StarDoc series, two others are patners, and the last stands alone. However, they all have ties to each other. For instance, in Beyond Vallaran, Viehl's second book, the heroine, Cherijo, learnsabout seven Jorinean half-breeds. Blade Dancer, her 6th book, deals with those seven.
