William Nicholson was one of my favourites until I read "Seeker." I thought that was pretty dire.

I've not updated it in a while so there are still a number missing, but my book collection can be viewed here, lest there be authors I've missed out.

I love Garth Nix, Lian Hearn, Jane Austen, Louise Rennison and I love Philip Pullman's books. Didn't like him much when I met him though...

There seems to be quite a few Neil Gaiman fans in here. I'm glad that someone other than myself knows of him. Such a genious, that man.

It's hard to pick a favourite author.
I'd have to say Vladimir Nabokov first.
Orwell, Harper Lee, Stephen King (for some of his work), Louis de Bernieres, Anais Nin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky....I'm still finding new authors that interest me.
