Who is your favorite author?

Maybe my favorite is Doyle. Of all the books I've read I think I'm most invested and immersed when I'm behind Holmes as he investigates the latest capers of Moriarty.

My favorite is Kurt Vonnegut! He's also my dad's favorite, and he manages to be so wise and empathetic.. and do it all with aliens and time travel

Hello!
Dropping in to give a shout out to Jasper FForde <3
His books really take you somewhere, and in his Thursday Next series, they take you into other books.
He breathes new life and character into old literary characters such as Ms Havisham (Great Expectations) such as what they do behind the scenes when they're waiting for people to read their books.
You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll get interested in the murder of Humpty Dumpty as outlined in the book "The Big Over Easy." (Also another amazing Jasper Fforde novel.)

Since I can't edit im also gonna let the auto-collator sort this for me.

Almost forgot about Mervyn Peake. The man who wrote the only fantasy story I've enjoyed more than LOTR.
