My favorite author is Pat Conroy. My favorite book is Beach Music by Pat Conroy.
I am currently reading The Closers by Michael Connolly, about a guy who goes back to the police force and is assigned to work cold cases. So far, so good.
Best book I have read in the last year...a tie between Lamb and A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. I just discovered this author and am currently obsessed with him...How can you go wrong with a book describing the fictional missing years of Jesus and a book about a man who becomes Death.
Top three authors I enjoy reading most:
Jonathan Kellerman-his books always keep you guessing, never a dull moment, suspense...suspense...suspense
Christopher Moore-my author of the year, he is irreverent, unbelievably funny and has an imagination as big as California
Agatha Christie-oldie, but goodie, she was truly the dame of mystery fiction and came up with some great characters, some great psychological suspense.

My favorite author is Bentley Little. The book is called Dominion. I am now reading a dime store romance novel. I don't care what other people think of them, I like them. I try to read as much of them as I possibly can. Especially in between reading some other books, as well. The best book that I have read in the last year was The Harper Bride Trilogy by Nora Roberts. They are my favorite trilogy books that I like to read. My top three authors are Sandra Brown, Danielle Steele, and Bentley Little.

Right now I am reading nothing, unforutnately, because I have yet to find a book I feel like reading at the moment. My favorite book is The Storyteller's Daughter by Cameron Dokey. My favorite author in general is JK Rowling (sorry, but, yes, I love Harry Potter). One really good book I just read recently was Bass Ackwards and Belly Up (I don't know the author).

My favorite author is now definitely Dan Brown. I read the Da Vinci code to see what all the hype was about and I absolutely loved it. I just finished reading Angels & Demons (the prequal to the Da Vinci Code which I would have read first had I known about it) and it was just as good! Dan Brown is a brilliant writer. His stories are full of plot twists and surprises. You never know what will happen next. There are also very many dual meanings and symolism which I really enjoy. His books make you think and I like that a lot. It makes me feel like I'm actually gaining something and some inteligence by reading them instead of wasting my time on the mindless books and magazines I used to read. I'm currently waiting on his next book which will be titled The Solomon Key and I can't wait for it to come out!
