[Phenom]

What author(s) do you enjoy reading the most? List your favorite series by them as well.

For me:

• S.M. Stirling (The Emberverse I,II)
• Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson & The Olympians/The Heroes of Olympus)
• James Patterson (Maximum Ride)
• L. Ron Hubbard (Battlefield Earth)
• Stephen King (The Dark Tower)
• Terry Goodkind (The Sword of Truth)

I know I'm forgetting some, but I'll add them when I remember them.

 

[Adamant soul]

Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files)
J.R.R Tolkein (Lord of the Rings)

 

[Myralice]

David and Leigh Eddings. The Belgariad, Malloread and the expanded universe is criminally underrated and absolutely worthy to be compared to Tolkien and Pratchet's works.

 

[Maddie]

H.P Lovecraft

 

[Psychic]

Michael Crichton

 

[Vermiform]

Not ashamed to admit I haven't exactly read an awful lot of fiction but from the ones I did and stuck with me I gotta say Bernard Werber and Michael Crichton are the names I grew up with. I'm now in the middle of exploring Bruce Sterling's work which managed to catch my attention.

 

[Aurelian]

Stephen King
Timothy Zahn
James Luceno
Matthe Stover
Simon R Green
