Just wondering who is everyone's fasvorite writers.


Mine- Edgar Allen Poe- I think he is one of the greatest writers of American Lit. and Culture. He has in fulenced so many great writers and just kept the real essence of horror.

o yea, i like GHary Paulson and Richard Laymon too.......hell ytes

I love Heinlen, Asimov, Clarke, Ballard, Barryman, and Cambell. I also like Card, Marx, and Italiano. Paulson is ok, I loved all the Brian books and such.

EDIT: Dan Brown, modern master of the mystery

Stephen King, Jenkins/LaHaye (double author)

Anything over a century old... is (in my opinion) hated by me.

LeHane... okay... Dale Brown, Stephen Coonts, Clancy is so-so except for red october... Macafree, Jaques... and several others...


ooh ooh, can't forget Crichton. Moril, don't you dare post Prachett on here!

Cecily von Ziegesar . . . hehehe gossip girl

Prachett. Reaper Man is awesome, and I did his Alien Christmas for Forensics. Sorry Caleb, but Ezra didnt want it (he'll know what I mean, I think.........).

And to the dude who put Dale Brown. DONT YOU MEAN DAN BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He wrote The Da Vinci Code and Angles and Demons (along with Digital Fortress and Deseption (sp?) Point).

no, i meant what i said

asmoiv j.k.rowling K.A. appleagte

Hmmm, Applegate, as in Animorphs and Remenents??

yup the good ol' animorphs.

Lol, I read all of those (off the web, of course) when I was seven...........

gotta love em!

who here hated cassie?
was it just me?

my favorite authors are bendis, claremont, miller and a bunch of other guys you never heard of.

i despized her, that little [Censored]

I read a few and I really don't remember any of the characters from them.

well remember this... Cassie is a $%!%%@%%@$%@%!%@%&^#@$%$%!%$@^%#$%^^%@&$#%^$&!

tolkien, terry pratchett, neil gaiman, ray bradbury, poe, agatha christie, arthur conan doyle

Ok, Blitz I'll remember that.

lol

i don't see how
i read books, like animorphs, blaze through the series, and remember only bits of them

hm..

rainbow 6 is pretty good

It is a really good game too...

you know what I was thinking? some people think they're so smart for reading books by a certain author...when really there are better authors out there that just haven't been discovered...


and then there's the crazy writers in your Lit class that go on tangents and won't shut up. EVER. Those in my class know who I'm talking about. "Blah blah blah...I'm not an analytical person..I'm so much more Creative!"

TEACHER: "Yes yes -------- but this is a SURVEY of comp & lit, not a creative writing course."

Douglas Adams and Tony Hillerman are my top two...in no ways alike but both very good reads.

Never heard of them what do they write?

Hillerman - Murder mysteries in a very unusual setting: modern day New Mexico's Navajo Reservation

Adams - combines science fiction with humor, very well written and funny

Ah... i should look into there writings.

Maybe I will too...

hmm... it seems we are drifting a little Dr i f t i n g...

you know who's a great writer? that guy who writes Fur Force!


lol

ooh, scifi and humor, rare indeed...

Agreed on both preveus posts

i try my best

what about stephen king?
his new stuff's bad, but the early years were good

Carrie and Eyes of the Dragon were good.

ver read rage? it was a story that had no scifi/ mystical elements. it was a deep look into the mind of a twisted soul.

like i said, the new stuff suks

Although I don't read very much beneath my newspaper and my coding books, here are my favorites:

Hermann Hesse (Siddhartha)

Vernor Vinge (A Deepness in the Sky && A Fire Upon the Deep)

Sallust (yep, that latin one... it's inetresting to see the analogy between the past and today)

Hehe, it's kind of tricky at first, but i am using bilangual books. So if i don't get the meaing of a setence, i can just read the translation =). But it isn't thaaaat difficult, if u get used to it.

i had to read the odyssey in english this year. it was over rated. (i've just opened myself up for a bunch of "intelectuals" to yell at me)

that really did suk. stupid homer (do'h)
