Re: Who's Your Favourite Author? by Farriel(m): 12:25pm On Feb 13, 2006 |
I have got over 30 favourite authors. Picking one out of all the others would be difficult, or rather, impossible. By the way, I never heard about Swindellis nor Stine, what genre of books do they write? |

Grisham J - [crime] is just too good. I love Sidney and just came across Ken Follett (whiteout) and Micheal Palmer (Critical judgement) - [medicine], they are just kool. |

my favourite author is the best i have ever seen he is JOHN GRISHAM he wrote the novel A TIME TO KILL,THE CLIENT, AND STREET LAWYER, HE ALSO WROTE THE FIRM AMONG OTHER GREAT NOVELS. |
Re: Who's Your Favourite Author? by Farriel(m): 3:11pm On Feb 27, 2006 |
But his books are just basically legal thrillers. Are you by any chance a lawyer, Ladebi? |
Re: Who's Your Favourite Author? by funty(f): 9:51am On Mar 01, 2006 |
ladebi:i've heard little about him. i know he wrote a book tittled skipping christmas. |
Re: Who's Your Favourite Author? by ladebi(m): 11:18am On Mar 01, 2006 |
YES HE IS THE AUTHOR .THIS IS WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT.Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That’s just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they’ll skip the holiday altogether. Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty; they won’t be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash; they aren’t even going to have a tree. They won’t need one, because come December 25 they’re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But, as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences–and isn’t half as easy as they’d imagined. |

Re: Who's Your Favourite Author? by reniks(f): 9:41am On Mar 17, 2006 |
I love John Grisham's novels.I love Victoria Holt's classical Romance novels,which combines romance with mystery and thrilling suspense,as seen in her books A House Of A Thousand Lanterns and The Bride of Pendoric. |
Re: Who's Your Favourite Author? by funty(f): 9:42pm On Mar 20, 2006 |
i've heard of victoria holts but i've neva read her books and A house of a thousand lanterns sounds really scary and interesting. |

Re: Who's Your Favourite Author? by dafman(m): 2:03pm On Mar 21, 2006 |
When i was younger my favourite author was James Hardley chase, But lately John Grisham is my favourite, he's got me hooked. |
Re: Who's Your Favourite Author? by Zahymaka(m): 3:58am On Mar 22, 2006 |
I've got lots of authors I read but I think the top ones are Nicholas Evans [The Loop, The Horse Whisperer, The Divide] -- he's very very clear -- Tom Clancy [he has a lot of strategy and planning. his books also have nice names like Without Remorse. I also like Robert Ludlum -- he's very good although I think all his books tend to follow one theme. Leon Uris isn't bad and Michael Crichton is one of the best. Sorry I could go on and on [I've been reading novels since I was 5 so I 've encountered lots of writers]. For old-timers, have you read Fyodor Dostoevsky or Moliere? |
