Poe is one of my favorites and his collected works were the first books I ever read (two years before the great disapointment called Elementary School).

Also Shakespeare, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Douglas Adams.

Isn't it funny with all of the intellectuals here that no one has even mentioned one of the earliest novelist - Homer!

Oh well, we've all skipped Chaucer in our list too.

Sorry, I'm the child of an English major.

I forgot to list two of my favorites William Sydney Porter and Samuel Langhorne Clemens (O. Henry and Mark Twain)

And George Bernard Shaw.

Love ya,

Sally

I have to say that my favorite all around author is JK. Rowling. She just wrote such an amazing story that so touched so many people that it's hard to not say her.

Jodi Piccoult is my favorite writer though. Her storytelling ends up being mediocre after you find out that all of her books have the same plot, but with different characters - but just the way she writes is figging incredible. Her words just draw you in and leave you wanting to hear them forever.

Terry Goodkind has the best plotline in his series The Sword of Truth. It's just so complex, and just when you think you have everything figured out - BLAM. You don't.

Marcus Zuzak is my favorite storyteller. He took something in the book, The Book Thief that was new and exciting and took a different point of view and just made that book incredible.

Tamora Pierce has some pretty amazing characters that never fail to draw you in and seem lifelike and real.

I have other favorites for different reasons, but these are some incredible writers.

I like Orson Scott Card. His book called Lost Boys (no relation to the movie) is still one of my favorites and the ender's game series especially the last three before the spin offs where so moving and thought provoking.

I have quite a few:

F Scott Fitzgerald

John Steinbeck

Stephen King

Ernest Hemingway

David Eddings (if you haven't heard of him, he is a GREAT fantasy author)

Robert Frost

Walt Whitman

Henry David Thoreau

and to break the list of American authors: Charles Dickens

(And, yes I REALLY am only 17)

Absolute, for all time favorite? Kurt Vonnegut. I started reading his work when I was twelve, had finished all his books by fourteen, and am currently rereading my favorites.

Other favorites include: Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Isaac Asimov, George Orwell, and Robert Heinlein.

I forgot about Orson Scott Card!!! But I can seriously list a bunch of authors if you gave me a few minutes to check my library for my favorites. I have a lot fo favorite authors. Jeff Lindsey is another favorite of mine and Robert Sawyer too.

I'm a fan of a lot of those mentioned, specifically the fantasy fiction authors, but my favorite to date is Stephen Erikson for his "Malazan Tale of the Fallen" series. Very adult material (no, I don't mean pornographic), and he REALLY develops his characters, you can tell he cares about them.

Link to comment

Beyond any doubt, J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings, On Fairy Stories, The Silmarillion) goes on top of my list.

Just next would come Margaret Weiss & Tracy Hickman (Dragonlance), and Michael Ende (The Neverending Story, Momo)

Going further, I could add Isaac Asimov, R.A. Salvatore, Clive Barker, and Karen Wynn Fonstad; but these are authors of some of my favorite works, rather than actual favorite authors.

Regards,

Ethain

Wow. A tad intimidated by all the literature and American novelist lovers. Lol. But pushing that aside, I'll go with my all time fav, Robert Jordan author of the Wheel of Time Series. Yes, I am a convention going, daydreaming, fantasy loving, Lord of the Rings buff as well. Haha. B)

      I need to be my nest, but its freezing in here!  And GF is all curled up...she's gonna have to un-curl herself, because I'm gonna shiver to death without snuggles

      "A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a rod for the fool's back.  Do not answer a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him."    Proverbs 26:4-5.....  possibly the first advice about spending time online

      Not of people usually, but places have a "color sense" to me.  Not exactly visual, but like a feeling.  Almost a taste or sometimes tactile.    My home, and the temple of my faith community both have a strong feeling of "silver."  A tasteable, nearly tactile radiance...it means safety, and I seek it out.  It kind of transfers to people associated with those places, like my husband.  I knew he was good the moment I met him.  Some places have a color sense like fire, a combination of red and orange.  As you might expect, it is an exciting or dangerous feeling.  Attractive in a way.  Part of me is drawn toward it, another part of me is skittish of it.  Other places have a blue/green color sense, which can be iridescent toward purple-ish.  Its peaceful and calm.    What I really don't like is a sickly, greenish-gray color.  I can't even describe it fully.  The sense is slimy, slick, cold and revolting.  To me, it is a feeling of intense danger about a place or a person.  I'm usually more oblivious to the other color senses, but this one grabs my attention.  To me, it is associated with pure evil.    One of my strongest impressions of the evil color it happened at a natural spring in a state park near where I live.  I was walking around with a friend and I felt it, and she thought I was totally crazy.  I wanted to leave so bad, just terrified.  Thankfully she followed me out.  I only found out later that a murderer had escaped from prison and was recaptured there...he had been living near the spring, and we were maybe within 200 yards of him.  My color sense probably saved our lives.

      Not exactly.  Me alone - I'm helpless and can hardly do anything.  But with my partners I'm protected and supported, and a lot more things are possible for me.    My husband teaches a lesson to his kids when they fight, I've seen him do this a couple of times.  He'll hand them a bundle of sticks tied together, and tell the kids to try to break it.  Of course, it doesn't work.  Then he takes the bundle apart, and tells them to break the sticks one by one.  One person alone is easily overwhelmed or broken.  Two or more people together can stand firm against adversity.

      When I joined it was purely a play on Maybe. Mae happens to have a couple letters in common with my given name and I started using it when introducing myself to strangers. Since then, actually yesterday, when I caught up with an old friend and told her about my transition she thought she heard "Maeve" when I said "Mae". I could still use Mae as a nickname, it works well with my mother's name as a middle name (she died in 2019 and I love the idea of connecting with her memory more), and my initials wouldn't change if I change my name. So, Maeve it will likely be unless something better comes along. ;)

      I've not had a lot of involuntary action in that department and I'm 6mo in. After 3mo. my T was under 30. My doc wanted labs mid-cycle (3-4 days after my shot) oddly, but I am going to insist on getting trough numbers to determine if T is pushing back when serum E is low. I almost felt like I was going to have MW yesterday morning when I woke up (day of my shot), so I get where your thoughts are on the subject. It would be good to know how long that suppression lasts, not that T&E levels are complete indicators--my doctor doesn't seem to have any plans to check for the broader spectrum of metrics I see a lot on forums like SHBG, etc.

      Take two   blood letting is complete it took two of them pesky little mosquitoes.   our dog came to us mostly potty trained. She had a few “I can’t wait” moments but for the most part she was good.  She learned to ask th be let out. We had a bell on the door and taught her to ring the bell.  Then she learned how to open the door herself.  As long as it wasn’t locked out she’d go.  We had her trained to a hidden fence and collar she would go to the limit and sit and wait for us to tell her it was ok. She has always responded to verbal commands or my whistles.   Oh and there are obvious negatives about a dog knowing how to open doors.  She would disappear and we’d suddenly see her out the window.  Or we’ would let her out and suddenly realize she was sitting with us.  She never learned to close the doors, only open then.
