Who was the author you most enjoyed reading?

Answer 1

i enjoyed Lord of the Flies is an allegorical novel by Nobel Prize-winning author William Golding. It discusses how civility created by man fails and how man always shall turn to savagery, using the allegory of a group of school children trapped on a desert island who attempt to govern themselves and fail disastrously. Its stances on the already controversial subjects of human nature and individual welfare versus the common good earned it position 70 on the American Library Association's list of the 100 most frequently challenged Books of 1990–2000

Answer 2

I have really enjoyed Cornelius Ryan (1920 – 1974). He was was a journalist who focused on military history, esp. WW II.
His two best-known books are The Longest Day (1959), which tells the story of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, and A Bridge Too Far (1974), which tells the story of Operation Market Garden, the ill-fated assault by airborne forces on the Netherlands culminating in the battle of Arnhem. Both books were made into major motion pictures, in 1962 and 1977, respectively.

For more serious subjects, try CS Lewis. What a talented writer who was able to take serious topics dealing with faith, philosophy and ethics and bring them down to a level that most people, including children, can understand. His more famous works are Mere Christianity, Screwtape Letters and the Chronicles of Naria. He was the Chair of Medieval Literature at Cambridge.

Lastly, for fiction, I recommend John Irving. His books include The World According to Garp and Ciderhouse Rules. His best work is A Prayer for Owen Meany and is one of the best books I have ever read.

Answer 3

I most enjoy reading books by the author Agatha Christie because the books she wrote (And then there were None, Nemesis, Curtain, the Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Murder on the Orient Express, to name a few) make me think. Like about does anyone have the right to judge whether or not a person should live, or their fate. Plus they're really interesting...and it's really hard to try to determine the murderer from what is given, she really writes well.
