Who is the best author?

Question

Who do you think writes the best books? The funniest books? The coolest books period.

Answer 1

Well, Terry Pratchett writes perhaps the funniest books I've ever read - check out "Good Omens" (he wrote it with Neil Gaimon) and his Disc World series.

As for the other questions, I don't think there is any possible way to say who writes the best books - every author I've ever encountered has contributed their best work. I'm not one to judge who's best.

Answer 2

J.R.R. Tolkien is the best in my opinion.

But I also love Catherine Marshall for her historical fiction,Nancy Moser for her inspirational novels, and Richard Paul Evans for his romance/family friendly novels.

My favorite children's authors are Ellen Conford, C.S. Lewis, Gordon Korman (great, albeit childish humor), and Gene Stratton Porter.

The funniest books I have read are A Dog's Life by Mayle,and The Bunny Suicides (don't remember author.)

Answer 3

Mary Higgins Clark, John Grisham, Shakespeare, Frances Gray Patton, Dick Pearce, Robert Lewis Stevenson, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Eve Curie, Just to name a few.

Answer 4

The best books J.K Rowling (my husband, kids, and I all read them and we don't like the same like of books)

Funniest probably some comedian like Jerry Seinfeld or I always laugh at Janet Evanovich and her Stephanie Plum series

Coolest books are the Evanovich I just got the number 12 book and was finished in about 3 hours and that happens with every one of her books.

Cool Question
Thanks

Answer 5

Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront. It narrates the story of Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.He stands between the general population who is ignorant about the supernatural world and the monsters-vampires,werewolves,fey.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.

Another good series is the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The books provide an alternate take on vampires.People who are unjustly murdered call upon Artemis(Greek goddess) and she grants them a day to avenge themselves.After that they are recruited to her army to fight against evil.This series is romance based.Best of the series are 'Dance with the devil' and 'Seize the night'.

Count of Montecristo by Alexander Dumas.Its about a young French sailor who was unjustly imprisoned for 14 years before he escapes and ultimately takes revenge on his enemies.The author did a great job describing the emotions of the prisoner.Disbelief,denial,self pity,madness,apathy and finally hope.

Rebecca Paisley-A basket of wishes.
Its about a fairy Splendour who is ordered to marry a human( a duke).The poor hero is confused by the woman who will shrink if not kissed regularly,drinks apricot face lotion.On top of that he is harassed by splendour's sister who even turns him into a snail.His cousin Emil thinks that Splendour is exactly what the doctor ordered for the staid ,boring Jordan.

Mary Balogh-Lady with a black umbrella(Funny romance).The heroine is always rescuing the hero-whether he wants to be rescued or not.

Lynsay Sands-A bride promises her father that she'll obey her husband 'always'.I mean 'always'.The poor groom didn't know what he was going to get when he was coarced to marry the king's daughter.

Anne Gracie-The perfect rake.The heroine just wants to save her sisters from their abusive grand father.However one lie led to another and another.The hero was perfectly willing to go along with the charades.

There are a lot of really great authors
, but my favorite has always been
Stephen King-I think it was because
he got me interested in writing when I
was 12 and I'm trying to get my own
novel published now.

Other good authors include Rahl Dahl
, Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens,
Virginia Woolf, Philip K. Dick, Michael
Crichton, Tad Williams, Isaac Asimov,
James Patterson, George R.R. Martin,
etc. etc. Of course there are other authors
I haven't read yet, who I would probably like.

Blue Balliet. She is a thought-provoking author for pre-teens. Wait, wait.but her latest book release is The Wright 3 is similar to the Da Vinci Code, but for teens/pre-teens who enjoy solving mysterious events. The other book of hers that is out right now is Chasing Vermeer. Check it out, you NEVER know!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Terry Pratchett
He has it all--social satire, literary satire, morals, humor, makes me cry--he's been called Stealth Literature. I've gone from finding his books in the library, buying them used, buying new paperbacks to buying them hardcover the first day they come out because they're so darn good.
