I was just wondering who everyones favorite authors were, been trying to think of something new to read. Mine are Joseph Conrad, Isaac Asimov and John Steinbeck How about you guys?
Chuck Palahniuk and George Orwell. I've also really gotten into Bukowski the last year or so. Other than those guys I've only read a book or two from most authors.
Heinlein, Pratchett, Gaiman, Huxley, Kesey, Vinge, Lovecraft. Dan Abnett has some good reads in the warhammer universe. Hard to go wrong with Neal Stephenson. Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves. Read that. I will certainly second the recommendations of Hunter S. Thompson and Chuck Palahniuk.
Steinbeck and Crichton are my favorites right now. Gordon Korman is the single best childrens' author, though. I loved his stuff when I was a kid.
I would determine my answer as to how many of that author's books I've read. I would say.... Chuck Paliuihnuik (I know I butchered the spelling ) Kurt Vonnugut Dean Koontz
I know someone already said this, but he deserves to be on here 2x. Hunter S. Thompson. Some day when I have more time, I'd like to read all of his books. Fear and Loathing and The Rum Diary are both great. Everything he writes is so profound and quotable. "All energy flows according to the whims of the Great Magnet. What a fool I was to defy Him! I was going back to Vegas--I had no choice."
