Ernest Hemingway all the way.mmlittleone wrote: ↑07 Dec 2006, 22:14 No one has mentioned my favorite author yet... Ernest Hemingway. He is awesome, such simple looking sentences but also a classic iceberg theme... so much of what he says is under the surface. For lighter reading, my favorite is Nick Sparks.

- Latest Review: Solaris Seethes (Solaris Saga book 1) by Janet McNulty

As a native Californian, those words will stick with me always. Whenever I see the first California poppies in spring, I think of that passage.The spring flowers in a wet year were unbelievable. The whole valley floor, and the foothills too, would be carpeted with lupins and poppies. Once a woman told me that colored flowers would seem more bright if you added a few white flowers to give the colors definition. Every petal of blue lupin is edged with white, so that a field of lupins is more blue than you can imagine. And mixed with these were splashes of California poppies. These too are of a burning color—not orange, not gold, but if pure gold were liquid and could raise a cream, that golden cream might be like the color of the poppies.

Favorite classic author most people don't read/like: I really love Thomas Hardy. The Return of the Native and Tess of the D'Urbervilles are just wonderful stories.
Favorite female classic author: Louisa May Alcott, not just for Little Women but for her gothic potboilers too.
Favorite children's author: Beverly Cleary. She is just an amazingly insightful person and writer. She knows kids' minds like nobody's business and her books are just perfect.
Favorite beach read author: Jodi Picoult. Her books make me cry and they're super melodramatic in their plots, but she makes them seem very real.
Favorite modern literature author: Margaret Atwood. Because Handmaid's Tale was a wonder long before it became cool and all-too-real.

Another fantastic author that I appreciate is Gillian Flynn.I find her writing to be mysterious and bold. Most of her books are also movies, which is a lot of fun to compare and see the characters on television.
Jodi Picoult is also a favorite of mine. She reels you in with sadness and also keeps your interest throughout every book she writes.

1. George MacDonald - great fantasy and Christian author who inspired Tolkien and Lewis
2. Tolkien - the originality, imagination, and shear intellect of the man is astounding
3. Dallas Willard - profound and convicting Christian author
4. H.P. Lovecraft - took fiction writing to a level never before reached (in my opinion)
5. Francis Chan - Simply writing that has an encouraging and challenging message for all Christian readers

Perhaps I've not read enough books to make a judgement, but no writer compares to Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie.

Despite me not having favorite authors, I still have authors I like. K.M. Shea (which I recommend for the world building in her fairytale series), Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff (I love their Illuminae Series and I highly recommend), Sean Covey (his books for teenagers are great. I'm reading one and have the other on my to be read list), Carolyn Keene (which is a pen name but I don't know the name of the actual authors of Nancy Drew), and more. Those were just some of the ones I can remember off the top of my head.
