Who is your favorite author? Do you have more than one? What are your favorite works by them?
I have The Devil in the White City on my wishlist. I read Dead Wake and really enjoyed it. Never really got into In the Garden of Beasts, but I'll probably go back and try it again.Seth Grahame-Smith has been a favorite for awhile
I just dug into Erik Larson's "The Devil in the White City" and am enjoying it so I'll be looking up his other works
I also enjoy memoirs/biographies/autobiographies so it's hard to pin down a favorite author on those.
I tend to read a lot of romance, so any author I list here will probably be unknown to most. But I definitely have a few authors whose books I pick up the day they come out without hesitation.
Great call on Richard Adams. That's one of my absolute favorite books.Tolkien (obvious)
Orwell (Animal Farm)
Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight Archive)
Richard Adams (Watership Down)
I started on it the other day while at Jury Duty. Seems like it's going to be a quick read. I heard that Leonardo DiCaprio bought the rights to turn it into a movie which excites me.I have The Devil in the White City on my wishlist. I read Dead Wake and really enjoyed it.

Stephen King is up there for me too. I like most of his books, though I tend to like his earlier work better (probably because I had more time to read then). Favorites: It and Salem's LotStephen King (11/22/63)
Tom Clancy (and now the ghost writers) -the Jack Ryan Jr series
"New" author- Any Weir -Hail Mary -wow -maybe my favorite book ever (also wrote The Martian)
My Dad had a huge Stephen King collection when I was younger. Convinced me to read Cujo and Pet Semetary. Scared the crap out of me because I was like 10.Stephen King is up there for me too.
