Who is your favorite writer?

[Pitti]

Pitti what do you think about Agatha Christie?

Agatha Christie was a very good writer. I really like the "Miss Marpel" crime stories and the story "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" (Alibi) is a fascinating story. Only the figure of Hercules Poirot, I can not suffer, as it is for me an arrogant version of Sherlock Holmes. Christie is really the Queen of Crime (and the Princess of Crime is for me Tess Gerritsen)

And how do you like Agatha Christie? 

[MiloMinderbinder]

Kurt Vonnegut is unbeatable for me. I've read nearly every book he's written. Spot on satire and humor.

I also enjoy Mark Twain, Joseph Heller (obviously, or at least obvious to those of you that have read Catch 22), and Charles Bukowski. Bukowski seems like a real jerk, but Ham on Rye is the tightest writing I've ever read.

If I had to pick up only one, it would be Gabriel Garcia Marques. Apart from him, cannot forget Haruki Murakami nor Orhan Pamuk.
I also read many Croatian writers and poets, but too few of those get translated :(

Cant say i like one writer only or know who all writers are, but here are some good ones:
William Shakespear
William Blake
Robert Frost
J.K.Rowling
J.R.R.Tolkein
Edgar Alan Poe
List goes on and on.... I try not to be picky with genres. As long as a book is well writen ill go for it. Give me a horror that makes me pee in my pants. A mystery that keeps me gussing. Romance that makes me make rain(i never cry only make rain). Adventures that have inspiring heros and dastardly villans. Fantasy that leaves the booring and mundane behind. Comedy filled with whit and wonder. So many books so little time.

Ian Fleming
JRR Tolkien
Clive Cussler
WEB Griffin
Tom Clancy

I just do not get into the classics or scifi. Give me an action/adventure or historical fiction or LOTR and I am happy.

Right now, I'd have to say Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I've always been fascinated by Sherlock Holmes as a character through shows and children's books, but it wasn't until about a year ago that I started reading the original stories and novels. I've been hooked.

I also read a lot of Stephen King. I'm currently reading It; it's so loonng.

[Gman707]

J.r.r tolkien is my favorite writer.

J.d salenger
Terry pratchet
Graham mcniel
Wiliam golding and
Chuck palaniuk

This is a toughe. I do really like John le Carre along with P.G. Wodehouse. But asking to pick a favourite would be almost an impossible task for me.
