Who is your favorite author?
I can't decide who mine is.

I'm an avid fan of the classics. My favorite author is either H.G. Wells, or Jules Verne.

Isn't there already a thread for this somewhere else.

I was a big fan of Dostoevsky until I read Poor Folk. That book was a dread, ugh. Still like him though  |

Maybe he was sick while writing it
