Ernest Hemingway - An engaging personality in public and yet a very private man who loved and cherished his family he was the worlds last great romantic. A much admired war correspondent and a man whose life was always open to a new adventure, he had the courage of his convictions and the tenacity to invest in his dreams and visions until he had manifested all of them into a reality that we all are the beneficiaries of today. His stories live and breath and are considered by many as classic works of art and are the source of some of our best modern authors greatest inspiration. Dialogue was for Hemingway the greatest tool through which a story could tell itself and he alone was the master of it.

DAN BROWN SUCKS.
JD Salinger is the best author ever. I hated the Catcher i the Rye but Franny and Zooey, along with his short stories are the most ballin' painful stories I've ever related too. Fydor Dostoevsky is also great. Crime and Punishment had the greatest protagonist in any piece of literature ever.

Mark Twain - read him you will know why
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr - Funny touching human
JRR Tolkien - 3 words: The Lord Of The Rings (sorry that's 5)
Madeline L'Engle - A Wrinkle In Time - the 1st book I fell in love with

Favourite author of mine would be O'Henry because he was the master of Short Stories and in these times of hectic schedule his kind of writing is even more appealing because we hardly have the time to go through long novels and stories.
Saki was another great short story writer.

Dan brown. His code breaking theories facinate me. I also like the author of the book THE TRAVELER but no one seems to know who that is, I just hope some day he/she makes a sequel Im interested to know what happens next.

I have more than one, so this time I'll say Terry Pratchett. Why? Because he never fails to make me laugh. He's also quite prolific, so if I had to choose just one author to read for the rest of my life*, I wouldn't suffer from a lack of material.
*and thank heaven I don't have to!

i love emile zola. i was given the novel germinal in high school and read the whole thing in 2 nights. strange since its a book about a coal mining town in france (yawn). amazing book though, very political and plays on humans just being the rotten humans that we are. i found out later on that the book was part of a series of tragic stories. i haven't read all of them, if fact i have a hard time finding zola books. finding a zola i haven't read is like a gift that deserves a hug.

Aldous Huxley. He had a wealth of experience to draw upon for his works and it shows in Brave New World and Island.
Plus, they have stood the test of time and have entered, into some circles, the realm of classic literature.

Enid Blyton, author of "The Five" and "The Seven" series. Books dedicated to adolescents, that made me dream a lot, when I was young.
