Favorite Authors

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

Neil Gaiman rocks my socks, particularly Neverwhere and his short stories. I am also an avid reader of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Peter S. Beagle is also a good author for fantasy, and I am absolutely in love with Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain series.

Other favorite authors include Carolyn Keene, Brian Jacques, Gregory Maguire and J.D. Robb.

Also, Francine Rivers. I can't believe I left that off - her books are amazing. The historical ones, that is. I don't really like the contemporary ones, but that's just me.
