who's ur favourite author ,what's his/her genre and which of his/her do u like best?

wow. tuff question. I like a bit of everything: classics, romance, horror, fantasy etc. My favourite author has to be Sidney Sheldon, dont know why. But his books were very satisfying when I used to be into novels.Ken Follet, Thomas Harris and Charles Dickens are three guys I could never say no to if I saw any of their books.!!

I dont have favorite authors.I do not buy books base on authors.

Agatha Christie

i think Dean Koontz is my best. then maybe Dan Brown

@poster, why not start with yours

Right now; dean koontz, master of suspense thrillers. hard to choose which of his books is my favourite, watchers or false memory.

frederick forsyth, ken follet, mario puzo.

John Grisham.

Not a frequent reader. Lazy, read no more than newspapers and magazines, or any other material I can finish in 30 minutes.
But I read Islamic books and my fav author there is Imam Ibn Taymiyya

Agatha Christie(Death Comes as the End ) Rider Haggard(She, The Return of She ) Marie Corelli (Sorrows of Satan ) Achebe(We all know, ) Theresa Meniru(Ukpala Okpoko Gburu ), James Hadley Chase (Figure it Out for Yourself )  , Elechi Amadi (The Great Ponds). . .  T. Ubesie (Juo Obinna ) Wilbur Smith (The 7th Scroll  ) William Golding (Lord of the Flies )


And now to provide the tough answer to a very simple question. . . Agatha Christie.

Tom Clancy is my best Author, Other Authors I enjoy reading are Robert Ludlum, Frederick Forsyth,

Most of their books are on Espionage, Subterfuge and Fictional Political Unrest

My best book by Tom Clancy is a big battle between Executive Orders and Red Storm Rising

I used to read John Grisham, Sidney Sheldon earlier in life but its not really my thing

Nowadays I read Biographies, Obama's 2 books, Richard Branson, Roman Abramovich, Duncan Byanantyne,

Chinua Achebe
Sydney Sheldon
Mario Puzo
Hardley Chase

Check your local listings because Lifetime is featuring movie base on her books.Its called "The Noral Roberts Collection".

I'll have to say Sidney Sheldon and Jackie Collins! Meanwhile, Philppa Gregory comes in handy for stories based on history!

Dean Koontz, John Grsham, Tom Clancy and Sidney Sheldon all work 4 me.

Danielle steel is a literary phenomenom, ive read many books , from harold Robins , jackie collins , sidney sheldon, koontz, agtha kristie,sheldon, grisham,  name it. danielle steel is one of the best, there is a smooth reading style to her writing , which makes it easy to forget the time and keep flipping the pages.
