Favorite Author?

[Mrs. Bouvier]

Who's your favorite author?
I'd have to say that mine is Stephen King or R L. Stine..

[Until_Proven_Guilty]

I honestly don't think i have just one favourite! lol! i like variety
Michelle Paver, Joseph Delaney (met him, wonderful bloke! ;D hehe), J K Rowling (her stories i like, but i believe that she's forgotten her fans now, just after ze money tut tut >_<), Enid Blyton is of course a classic! and C S Lewis and manyyy manyyy more lol

[Mrs. Bouvier]

Most of those, I've never heard of. lol
And most people now-a-days are just after the money. (And that's usually what ruins the work. ) What are their styles? (Like are they romance, horror, comedy?)

[Until_Proven_Guilty]

well actually they all do stories for children lol - but adults can enjoy them too XD hehe
Michelle Paver does the Chronicles of ancient darkness series, very good
Joseph Delaney does the wardstone chronicles also great hehe
J K Rowling does harry potter of course lol ^_^
Enid Blyton wrote childrens stories, many many different ones she's probably more well known over here than she is in america lol
C S Lewis also wrote several famous ones, including the chronicles of narnia lol

yeh thats a pity but i suppose thats how it happens now? :/

[Mrs. Bouvier]

Oh yeah. That's how it happens in today's world.
Wow. I'll have to look them up. lol

[Chulbasaurus Rex]

Yeah. C.S. Lewis was amazing.

My favorite would have to be the mysterious Lemony Snicket... Hahaha. Which also translated into an AWESOME film.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemony_Snicket Just read the article, I've been keeping up with the mystery for many years, I have the newer books too, but haven't had a chance to read them yet. I need to go through and read whole series again.

Yeah, definitely my favorite author.

[Mrs. Bouvier]

I have his books too, but don't have anything past I believe his 11th book (Slippery Slope?). They were good books, but I felt that the dude kept coming back to easily. You knew it was him.

[Chulbasaurus Rex]

Yeah... Haha. They're aimed towards a little bit younger audience, but still an incredibly enjoyable series to read.

I need to re-read them again.

[Mrs. Bouvier]

How many are there now?

[Chulbasaurus Rex]

He ended at 13th. Which was titled "The End" I have the first 12, and should pick up the final one sometime.

[Mrs. Bouvier]

He didn't even come up with something like "The Endly Ending"? or something like that. I know Endly isn't a word but it's something.

[Chulbasaurus Rex]

Yeah I know... Kind of a kick to the face after all of the other books titles... Which was probably what he was aiming for... Hahaha.

[Mrs. Bouvier]

Yeah, kind of a let down. Then again, he always said "stop reading this book". Now that got annoying.

[Chulbasaurus Rex]

Really? I loved that... Haha. It's so... Breaking of the fourth wall... O.o

[Irelynn]

To me, it was like "Hey I don't really want you to read so, PLEASE PUT TEH BOOK DOWN!" Really unnerving.

[Chulbasaurus Rex]

Haha. It was to discourage you from reading further, but you of course aren't going to listen, if anything, it made me wanna continue on... Haha.

[Mrs. Bouvier]

Yes, but it drove me nuts. A couple of times, I almost did. And then there is of course the three page on the water cycle. That was BORING! *shakes head*

[Chulbasaurus Rex]

Hahahaha. Yeah... Sometimes authors get a little too descriptive... You could do what my grandma does at those parts though... And is skip over them... Haha. I personally don't like doing that though, I would feel as if I didn't complete the book... O.o

And I really gotta read this series again. Such awesome memories growing up with this series. It was one of the few, thicker books, I would absolutely BURN through. I love my old librarian for recommending them to me.

[Mrs. Bouvier]

My fifth grade teacher would read them and that was at the time the movie came out, so we got to go watch it in theaters. Good times, but I really don't like to skip. What if he mentions it again? Then I wouldn't know because I missed it.
