Mary Ann mitchell oh please sweet jesus no...the name itself makes me shudder with horror (not the good way either.)

Hmmm..

Favourite of all time would have to be CS Lewis, with his brilliant The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.

More recently though, either Peter F Hamilton (British Sci Fi writer, absolutely astonishing view of the future!) and Irvine Welsh (brilliant Scottish tales, lewd, rude n downright sickening at times), famous for Trainspotting.

HP Lovecraft, though ive only read one or two pieces online, is amazing.

Someone said Terry Pratchett earlier - ever read his book Good Omens?

Hillarious fun.

Ooh and i forgot, Terry Brooks the author of the Shannara series and Star Wars episode I the Phantom Menace (though ive only read a trilogy of his, cant remember what its called exactly)

Id forgotten just who were my favourites, ta for remindin me

Or that book where they 'invent' Hollywood. I can't remember the title, but it wouldn't matter because I read translations :shock:

Albert Camus is great too.

Not many mentioned the father of fright beyond any and all reason, and those few that did have experienced the pen of the insanely gifted... Howard Philips Lovecraft. He is, in my most humble opinion, the foundation of fathomable "surrealities". I am not a horror snob, by any stretch. I consider Lovecraft to be the father of my love of horror since I began reading his works at the tender and impressionable age of 13. I still return to his world of deep ones, tentacled gods, flying night gaunts, and cities beneath the sea to be absorbed by his genius... But, as of late (re: in the past 19 years or so), I find myself lost in the wondrous tales of Neil Gaiman, the weaver of Dreams, creator of The Sandman and his siblings. I have read every one of his books, and own several signed 1st editions. I also walked the vampiric path with Anne Rice, Kim Harrison, and, yes, even Stephenie Myers. J. O'Barr created a most darkly tragic romance in "The Crow", and have a madness for a series called "The Black Jewels", by Anne Bishop...
So, there it is. Whether you really wanted it or not....
