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)

      It took me less than 6 months, in how my body quickly responded to hormone therapy, I was once a 40 jeans size, and now I'm comfortably wearing 12 to 14 sizes. Estrogen can speed things up and can slow things down in order to make adjustments. Seeing a treating doctor is very important to monitor the hormone levels to avoid possible side effects later on in life.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.

      Technically, it's before noon ;)   Uneventful day so far. I have my personal devices limited to 15 mins of screen time a day because I had a C lol, only problem really is the fact I do a lot of my social interaction online because most of my friends are in another state... been a little lonely, I guess? Plus I do a lot of reading and such online, and use my phone for references to draw, so there's a lot I don't have access to. So, just an annoyance now.   Anyways, fixed the C, hopefully I'll have normal things again soon ^-^   My mom's been having me take this herb pill in the mornings that is supposed to help with anxiety/ADHD-type symptoms, but I still have been having about the same amount of trouble focusing and sensory issues, so I guess it's not working haha
    • RaineOnYourParade
      That's awesome!

      Claire shares the same first letter as my male name.  I tend to prefer shorter names to long ones, and this one seemed feminine to me without going overboard. I was inspired by Claire Danes, Claire Underwood, and Claire Dunphy (upon whom I always had an enormous crush ).  Plus, it just felt right. I don't know if Claire will be my final legal name, but it's stuck longer than the others I've tried on.

      I always loved Ashley. I named my 2006 Roush Mustang that too. I also had a crush to Ashley Force who races in NHRA.

      I'm the same (estradiol, no blockers) and for me, after 4 years, T levels naturally *decreased*. I'm at E&T levels of a postmenopausal woman.   Astrid

      Revealed: the super-rich fascist Maga lobbying group who is brain-washing the far-right policies of Trump and other Republicans.   Documents show the Conservative Partnership Institute is pushing its far-right agenda at events involving GOP members. A powerful, right-wing lobbying group is promoting a hard-right policy agenda and cementing ties between the Republican party and the far right at at least 21 events involving senators, members of Congress, and both junior and senior political aides. The documents offer previously unreported details of Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI). In 2021, the former congressman and Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows joined CPI. Both Meadows and Mitchell were at the center of Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Meadows was indicted in Georgia in August.    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/23/conservative-partnership-institute-republican-laws
