Hermann Hesse for 'Steppenwolf', 'Demian', 'Sidharta', 'Knulp' and all the other wonderful books, a really spectacular writer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe for 'The Sorrows of Young Werther', a book that charmed me when i was a little teen girl and that i simply don't want to read now as i know it wouldn't leave me the same impression now; and of course for 'Faust', the greatest book ever written, and for including the most amazing character among all the worlds literature of all times — Mefistofel.
Fiodor Dostoevsky for 'The Idiot', 'The Kamarazov Brothers' and 'The Crime and Punishment', the greatest Russian literature monuments.
Edgar Allan Poe and Anton Chekhov for the most amazing short stories ever.
Freud for the 'Interpretations of Dreams' and any other wonderful work on psychoanalysis.
Gabriel Garzia Marquez for 'One Hundred Years of Loneliness', hoping the other books will be as good as this one.
Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas for 'Altorių Šešėly', the book that could have been a worldwide known literature masterpiece if not the soviet literature censorship.
Michail Bulgakov for 'The Master and Margarita', the hugest literature work i know [3 plots, around 500 characters], having the best portrait of devil and also the book, which helped me to put my point of view about religion in words.
Deitel for JAVA How To Program because i wouldn't have survive in computer science without it.
Samuel Beckett for 'Not I', the play that i dream to read in an expressive reading contest, someday..
Pablo Neruda for the most magnificent poems.
My friend Aivaras for his special prose - you could f***** do great in literature if you wouldn't be a doc!

My favorite author is Christopher Golden. My favorite stand-alone novel by Golden is The Boys are Back in Town. The summary says it best:
"From a master of horror, dark fantasy, and suspense comes a compelling and uniquely original work of paranormal suspense in which one man finds himself trapped in a web of ever-shifting reality which threatens to remake the whole of the world -- unless he can find a way to stop it.
For Will James, facing his tenth high school reunion is far from his finest hour, especially since his life has not gone exactly as he planned. Dumped at the altar by his high school sweetheart and with his dreams of being a prize-winning reporter dashed by his job at a Boston tabloid, he is not sure he is ready to face his former peers.But what he does find at the reunion is far more than he bargained for. He soon learns that one of his buddies had died several years back -- even though Will had received an e-mail from him only a few days before. It is not long before other people Will was convinced were alive are turning out to be dead as well, or married to other people, or childless where they used to have children. And new memories are swarming in to replace what Will is convinced was his old life, until he no longer knows what is real and what is not. The only thing he does know for certain is that he has to figure out why he alone remembers snatches of another life before everything dissolves into this new, darker reality."

Orson Scott Card. He has written so many books--most if not all great--but my favorite would have to be Ender's Game. It's the first OSC book I read. It starts off a great series, and no matter how many times I read it...I always enjoy it. My second favorite, by the way, would be Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus.

King Fortis the Brave by Michael R. LaMontagne and Ronald E. Snyder. But the Harry Potter books, Eragon and Chronicles of Narnia are equally as good.

Harry Potter
King Fortis the Brave
Eragon
Artemis Fowl
Are all great books. I'm not good with remembering authors names though. I know Rowling wrote Harry Potter but I'm not sure of any of the others.

My favorite author, hmmm...Ted Dekker, most likely. I have not found a single one of his books that I have not liked. But, I also love Melody Carlson...great for teen girls...fabulous books, especially the True Colors series. My favorite book would probably be...hmm, hard one. I love reading. It's absolutly amazing. Anyways, ummm...I love Dekker's book Thr3e...absolutly mind-bending and boggling. So, that would probably run close to the top of my list.

My favorite book is by Charles F Hannel,The Master Key System.It is the science on Law of Attraction.It was written around 1912,and apparently was banned by the Catholic Church in 1937.It is also said that Bill Gates read it and because of this book,helped him onto the road of success.
This book gives you a step by step guide on how to attract into your life exactly what we want and desire.I wont go into detail on this but I highly recommend it to all with inquiring and open minds.

John Galsworthy. Though not a book, his favorite work of mine is a short story titled "The Apple Blossom."
