favorite author?

What is your favorite author. I have recently become a HUGE Dean Koontz fan! I'm on my third one by him in the last 2 months. Can't get enough!

[caseysmom]

I have read everything he has ever written, even a book about him by someone else!

Did you read watchers? There are also some good movies based on his books, we have them on our movies for free on cable right now, intensity is really good.

Too many to choose from, but I am a big Neil Gaiman fan, a Neal Stephenson fan, but read almost everything I can get my hands on!

I rarely read fiction these days, so have no particular favorite author. I read whatever appeals to me - sports, medicine, history, animals, current events.

When I retired, I had a stack of about 30 books saved up to read. Well, that was 9 years ago and the stack has grown to around 60. For every book I've read, I buy 2 more to fill the void.

I just finished Rome 1960 by David Maraniss - an account of the 1960 summer Olympics in Rome. Very interesting book - how the world has changed in the past 48 years!!

Big Dean Koontz fan over here as well! Life Expectancy and Watchers were definitely my favorites.
Right now, I`m reading a book by Karen Rose, called Have You Seen Her? I like it a lot and I`m definitely going to read more from her.

Years ago I would travel a couple hours to my parents house and back home quite a bit so I began listening to audio books.
Somebody let me borrow Intensity by Dean Koontz and let me tell you, Intense it was!! I drove around my block and then sat in my car to finish it. And while I was driving I would realize I was gripping the steering wheel so hard.
I think they made a movie about that book. But I like books better because they give you more descriptions and thoughts of the characters so you can visualize it any way you wish.

For the past several years I have been reading Nora Roberts who also writes under the name JD Robb. I still have so many books left to read. My reading has been put on hold by the stinking reality TV I've been addicted to.

Did you read watchers?

Another Dean Koontz fan here although I haven't read any of his recent stuff.
Watchers was incredible, wasn't it?

I also enjoy John Grisham, Patricia Cornwell and Sue Grafton to name a few more.

[Medusa]

Wow, so many to mention but a few are Catherine Ponder for her Millionaires of the Bible series, Alison Weir for her Tudor history books and Jean Plaidy for her Tudor novels. There are many more but I slept in this morning and I'm lucky and I can even type. LOL

Judy Blume. Though she hasn't written anything in awhile.

His latest "the darkest evening of the year" has been a labor of love for him leading up to it. Its got Golden Retrievers in it.
Did you ever check out the Laurien Berensen ones I emailed you about Pam?
you would LOVE them!! mysteries and poodles!

Read some books by Dean Koontz in the past, but I don't remember which books it were.

There are many authors I like, some of my faves are Ken Follet, Dan Brown, Diana Gabaldon, Akif Pirrinci, and - as I have to admit - Andreas Franz, a German author who writes crime stories, but very graphic ones.

Oh, and I love the Harry Potter books, read them many times, and never get tired of them.

I read so much, it's hard to pin down a favorite author, but a few of them would be Robin McKinley, Anne Bishop, and recently, Sergei Lukyanenko. If you like sci-fi/fantasy books his Night Watch series is DEFINITELY one to check out.

[Rachel]

Like Grace and Kitten645, I prefer non-fiction.

An enjoyable book I read recently was Julie Klem's Please Excuse My Daughter.

My favorite author would have to be James Herriot. Unfortunately he's no longer alive.

[Willow Oak]

James Michener: The Source, Chesapeake, Alaska, etc.

Of course, I love James Alfred Wight (James Herriott).

And Samuel Clemons.
