Your favourite author and the last book you read by him or her?

[DeViLzzz]

I just got done reading a book in less than 24 hours and that is because the author is just so good at writing action/thriller books.  He is a Canadian who has lived in the United States for some time now and his name is David Morrell.  The book I read was called ....



I can't say enough about how good a writer he is so I won't even try after posting on his Facebook page today and on my own trying to compliment him and explain just how good a writer he is. 

Now after you now know who my favourite author is who is your favourite author and what is the last book you read by him or her?

I'm sure no one saw this coming;

 

J. K. Rowling. Growing up with the Harry Potter books is something I will never experience again, and it was an absolutely magical ride.

This is probably going to be the most hipster answer ever. My favorite author is Fyodor Dostoevsky.

The last book of his, that I read was Crime and Punishment.

[WereCat]

Patrick Rothfuss - Name of the Wind, The Wise Man's Fear
Eoin Colfer - Artemis Fowl

[Manny Calavera]

Helmet for my pillow.

 

Amazing.

Tom Clancy - The hunt for red october 

Christie Golden - War Crimes (Warcraft expanded universe)

Richard. A. Knaak - Day of the dragon (Same as above)

Iain. M. Banks - The hydrogen sonata

George R.R Martin - A feast for crows
Stephen King - Pet Sematary (I know its spelled: Cemetery But according to the internet and covers of the books that is the title)

And Stephen Fry. He really has a way with words. - The fry chronicles

 

As an aspiring writer myself these guys are the ones i measure my books against.. And find my own works to be inferior..

Hell.. My friend that writes smutty fanfiction is a better writer than me..

 

And honorable mention

Peter Telep - Ghost recon - Choke point

I don't know if I would say I have a favorite author I don't tend to follow anyone but I would say I have a favorite genre which would be anything about dystopias

This is probably going to be the most hipster answer ever, byt my favorite author is Fyodor Dostoevsky.

The last book of his, that I read was Crime and Punishment.

 

Somewhat hesitant to ask, but what's hipster about Dostojevski? 

 

Just struggled my way through Paradise Lost by Milton. I've read A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man before, currently about 1/5th into Finnegans Wake But i'll probably pick that up after i've finished The Anatomy of Melancholy. So I guess it's the The Anatomy of Melancholy, What it is: With all the Kinds, Causes, Symptomes, Prognostickes, and Several Cures of it. In Three Maine Partitions with their several Sections, Members, and Subsections. Philosophically, Medicinally, Historically for now. 

 

It's hard to pick a favourite writer when there's still so much more to read.

Somewhat hesitant to ask, but what's hipster about Dostojevski?

There is nothing Inherently hipstery (this is now a word) about Dostoyevsky's work.

However, I have experienced hipsters quoting Dostoyevsky to seem smart.

In turn, this make people think, that I only namedrops Dostoyevsky to seem smart.
