It would be bad if I said myself



Btw, a girl I went to school with married Tim LaHaye's grandson. They knew each other as real little kids, and went to Liberty together.

Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker

Yeah. That's really about it for me. I read some other books by other authors (Francine Rivers, Jeff Sharaa, Michael Sharaa, Stephen Ambrose..ect.) but Ted DeKker's the main one.

Frank Peretti
C.S. Lewis
Anthony Horowitz

Oh I forgot him. (And C. S. Lewis and Tolkien)

[Robo]

My favorites are Rand Miller (for the MYST books), JRR Tolken (for the Hobbit), Doug TenNapel (for Creature Tech and Gear), C.S. Lewis (for The Space Trilogy and Narnia), and Neil Gaiman (for Coraline).

-Robert

Oops, I forgot Lemony Snicket! I love his series.

(And C. S. Lewis and Tolkien)

Tolkien and C.S Lewis are the two single most amazing writers I've ever read--Ted Dekker's great, but you can't beat those two. Imagine what a book written by BOTH of them together wouldn've been like.

I think that book by both of them would explode because it couldn't hold all the greatness.

Agreed; it's just to awesome.

Probably so, to be sure.

Some of these will be pretty repetitive as we have a lot of Tolkein/Lewis fans here.

So, offhand:


J.R.R. Tolkein (The Silmarillion is my favorite).
C.S. Lewis (Specifically, The Screwtape Letters).
Anne and Charlotte Brontë
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
P.G. Wodehouse
Agatha Christie
Robert Ludlum (and, by extension, Eric Van Lustbader)
Evelyn Waugh
E.M. Forester
Alexandre Dumas
Laurie R. King
Jane Austin
Oscar Wilde

[Termite]

*takes a deep breath* I have to add James Patterson to my list.

[Samurai Neil]

In Fantasy: J.R.R. Tolkien, and Christopher Tolkien. Yes, Chris counts.

In General Fiction: No one. They haven't proved they're talent yet. It would be cool if someone could combine the style of Tolkien with the genius of Victor Hugo, add some Sigmund Brouwer, and make the story a modern Le Miserables. Couldn't beat it.

In Historical Fiction: Oops, I don't read that enough.

In non-fiction: God, and Robert Lewis Dabney.
