I'm a huge Anne McCaffrey fan. I have almost 50 of her books now, and counting, and I've read most of them more than once, especially her Dragonriders of Pern series.

I also like Terry Pratchett a lot :3 'specially his City Watch books. Vimes is the best character ever in literature, EVER.

James Herbert was always a favourite amongst horror authors, too.

Well, let's see, I know there are a lot . . . .
J.K. Rowling
Lemony Snicket
Gail Carson Levine(particularly The Two Princesses of Bamarre)
Patricia Maclachlan(although her books are a little hit or miss)
Ursula K. Leguin(again, a little hit or miss. I loved A Wizard of Earthsea, though)

^I've always wanted to check out the Dragonriders of Pern books 3nodding

It's funny but I almost put Ann McCaffrey on my list but, then I decided I hadn't read enough of her books. It was a really long time ago when I read them but I remember really enjoying them. Some images still stick with me even though I can't remember the plots too well.

Edit: I love your signature art Kilarra.

I don't have too many. But these are my most favorite (Frank Peretti and Susanna Clarke only have one or two books with more to be expected.

I love Sarah Dessen!!!!! Every book of hers that I have read has been the best!! I haven't been able to put it down until I have finished it! I also really like the book Seperate Beds by LaVyrle Spencer.

Okay, I'm now done with Death Gate. If you like fantasy, magic and dragons and that stuff, you will love death gate! Okay, there aren't many dragons, but you get the pic.
