I have a few favorite authors, I'll read anything of theirs: Stephen King (Richard Bachman), Dean Koontz, Anne Rice, and Laurell K Hamilton. Favorite story has to be Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. I hear another author is going to finish the series, beginning this December - I'm stoked.
I like horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and romance - and anything within those catagories that can catch my attention from the dust jacket, gets to come home with me. I've got more books than I do bookshelves.:-P

I like the wheel of time, but it's too long. It's a shame he died too.

My favorite book of all time was the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy - a trilogy in five parts. (So all of them)

Douglas Adems is the best, also ANYTHING by Richard Dawkins, Friedrich Nietzsche and Isaac Asimov. My favorite authors in Science, philosophy, Hilarity and Science fiction.

wheel of time couldnt keep my attention, tried reading it like 2-3 times

i read hitchhikers guide a few times and its a hilarious read. i was perplexed by the 5 part trilogy... hmmm

i thought i was one of the only people who had read the drizzt series. i liked every one

i read a book a week atleast, but ive read a book a day and 8 books in 1 week

my favorite book of all time is the book of five rings by miomoto musashi. if you ever plan on going into battle, this samuri philosophy will help you greatly. my favorite part is the paragraph about stabbing in the face

also, over the past few months ive been reading the books that the series "true blood" is based off of by charline harris. great read as well

Have you ever read Recipes for Disaster? Similar, but I think it has more practical stuff...

Hmmm, best book...

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It's a very good story, got me so hooked I literally could NOT put it down, I read the damn thing in a DAY.

The Time Traveler's Wife was good, never saw the movie, but I really liked the book. The way it was written just made it so much more interesting...

Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, fucking LOVE it. Read all the books several times. Although I'm not sure about the new one, The Law of Nines...I got it, but I haven't really started reading it yet.

Stephen King -- anything related to the Dark Tower series. IT is probably my favorite book of all time.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I really like her philosophy. Which is actually pretty big in Terry Goodkind's books...

Neil Gaimen. Neverwhere, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Stardust...

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series...and omg, I just looked it up and found out a 7th book came out. Now I have to read all the books again and get it...
