I can't choose a favorite book, my favorite author is Stephen King. I love every book of his that I have read, and I am reading them all slowly but surely. My favorite movie at 4 years old was Pet Sematary. Desperation was the first book I read by Stephen King and it got me hooked. The Dark Tower Series is just awesome and I love Salem's Lot. I have read so many more but those are my favorites. I also love the Harry Potter series, but my love for Stephen King books preceded that. I also like Edgar Allan Poe, been reading his works for a long time. My mom even used to read them to me when I was little. She is really into Poe.

I'm with you on Poe - a master. As much credit as he gets, I think he deserves more . . . basically inventing the mystery and sci-fi genres - plus the poems and the overlooked critic writings.
As far as favorite book and author - hard to say, my favorite changes with mood. I do enjoy the works of Neil Gaiman, in particular "American Gods" and "Good Omens" - but you really can't go wrong with any of his writing. The Sandman series is also excellent.
Other authors I enjoy include Orson Scott Card, Alexandre Dumas, Jules Verne, Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, amongst others.

Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger just because he develops his characters so quickly and has so much philosophy and indepth thought to it that it just intrigues the mind.
my favorite author, however, is Hemingway or Christopher Buckley, I cant choose!!!
:-P
i like novels about war and i love Buckley's contemporary humor
