WOOHOO awesome forum thanks for making it :)

my suggestions on authors.....
RA Salvatore
Orson Scott Card
Dean Cook ((I think thats the spelling))


RA Salvatores Drizzit series and the other series he has ((don't recall name think its Mortalis)) are amazing. He is a great author and I truelly wish to write in the way he does. His stories can inspire you to do great things and even to re-evaluate your way of thinking. Amazing.


I am always looking for more reading material cause reading is the bridge to your own imagination :) so please give me more stones with which to build a better bridge

Brian Jacques - [Redwall, Martin the Warrior]
J.R.R. Tolkien - [The Lord of the Rings Trilogy]
Lewis Carrol - [Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]
Charlotte Bronte - [Jane Eyre]
Oscar Wilde - [The Picture of Dorian Gray]

I highly recommend anything by those authors, but especially the books I listed.

^^ Jane Eyre..great book

uMmM..i dunno..i like the child called it, the lost boy, and the man named dave written by dave pelzer...annnnnd i forgot his name..but the guy who wrote Tuesdays With Morrie and The Five People You Meet In Heaven..they are great authors

Kurt Vonnegut is pretty good. I like him.

<makes a list of everything so far and all that comes afterwards>

Awesome I forgot the Lord of the rings and Harry Potter series both amazing but they are so main stream everyone knows about them. Another good author but his work is hard to find and is kinda blah cause of grammatical and storyline mistakes is Micheal Scott he wrote the Tales of the Bard series. There is a large paperback trilogy of that series called Culali Heritage I believe

Stephen King.

Stephen King.
Dan Brown.
Mitch Albom.
John Grisham.

- Chinkieeyedpnoi

Mary Shelly (Frankenstein is awesome!)

Hmm I seem to have Dean Koontz and Stephen King books lying around...
I really liked Dean Koontz's novel "Intensity" and Stephen King's
"Everything's Eventual"... I haven't read any Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings books though...I will someday..

Louis Sachar.

hahas yea Louis Sacher! And Amy Tan. I also like Val (yes, Mireh! hahas jk not her!), the girl who wrote "What I Did for Love" and "It Was You All Along."

But I don't read much books. But my favorite manga book (which has an author!) is Clamp or Yu Watase.. I LOVE the storylines. I'm not basing it on the pictures, I'm basing it on how the storyline was made for those manga books.

Amy Tan
Dan Brown
Orson Scott Card
Tamora Pierce
Terry Pratchett
Clyde Edgerton

...

Ooh, too many to choose from.

Nicholas Sparks
John Grisham

I enjoy John Stenibeck's books, like:
-To a God Unknown
-Of Mice and Men

Anything by fantsay authors; especially J.R.R Tolkien and J.K. Rowling. Stephen King is really good too, but he's definately not my favorite

i odnt remmber most of them
judy bloom
francine pascal
s.e sutton i think (from the outsiders)

Nicholas Sparks
Philip Pullman
Lemony Snicket
Judy Blume

Plenty More.

Dean Koontz, Robin Cook......

Dean Koontz is great. I love his stuff. He has some scary books. Just look him up under fiction and grab one, you'll love it.

Sylvia Plath is also pretty amazing. She's mostly poety and short stories, but she wrote The Bell Jar . If you're looking for something serious this is it. It's about a girl who goes through a mental breakdown. It's classified as fiction, but is a lot like her mental breakdown.

Gregory Maguire wrote Wicked, Lost , and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister . I'm in the middle of Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and it's amazing. I <3 it.

my favorite are (they are not listed in any particular order):
stephen king
jrr tolkien

• chuck palahniuk; his style of writing is so awesome. he's like a modern day kurt vonnegut.
• sophie kinsella; the shopaholic books are the funniest. they're so good that i even hate becky (the main character) at times because of the way she writes her. awesome.
• amy tan; her books are mostly about chinese girls/women learning the value of family.
• laurie notaro; her books are about her own experiences and they're soooooo funny.
• nicholas sparks; he writes good love stories. and they always make me cry.
