David Gerrold Number 9 Dream 02-09-2008, 01:11 AM Stephen King <3 He has my heart. I loved him even more after reading his memoir on writing. I'll always love that guy. I also love Ann Rule, Edgar Allan Poe, and Chuck Palahniuk. (and I think I might even gain an appreciation for Shakespeare after taking this class on him! :p ) Mikado 02-09-2008, 02:41 AM Mine are all people who write non-fiction history books 1-Pierre Berton 2-John Jackson 3-Ron Brown 4-Peter C Newman 5-local historian William Lewis Family Ties Forever! 02-09-2008, 03:14 AM Sue Grafton Mary Higgins Clark Janet Dailey Danielle Steel Sandra Brown Linda Howard Catherine Coulter Catherine Anderson Susan Elizabeth Phillips Fern Michaels Nora Roberts Mitch Album Judith McNaught Karen Robards Jude Devereaux and others....

(and I think I might even gain an appreciation for Shakespeare after taking this class on him! :p ) Kristel, have you read King's new book yet? I just bought it this afternoon. I hope to start it by mid-week. I like Poe too. In early 1999 I bought a book of his collected work at Barnes & Noble and loved it. I really like Franz Kafka too. His collection of short stories is probably the best collection of short fiction that there is. I read those stories in '99 too. The first half of 1999 was a dark time in my life, and it seemed I read mostly dark stuff because of the way I was feeling. mrs.gingerhinkley 02-10-2008, 01:12 PM Oh. I forgot Frank Peretti! (I think I botched his last name) Kristen 02-10-2008, 10:08 PM Besides the obvious J.K. Rowling (that woman is a genius!), I also love Jodi Picoult and Beverly Lewis. I've read several books by all 3 and have enjoyed all of them. vtunie 02-10-2008, 10:14 PM (In no particular order, but loosely by genre) Mark Twain Heinrich Boell Nicholas Gogol Arthur Hailey William Gibson Isaac Asimov Raymond Chandler Agatha Christie InspectorExstead 02-11-2008, 02:24 AM Virginia Woolf Toni Morrison Emily Bronte C.S.
