    Who is your Fav Author, based on their entire body of work?

    Mine would be Stephen King for all his books collectively, although my fav book would be by Dean Koontz...

    What say you?

                  I've always preferred Koontz over King.

                    As cheesy as some of her books are, my favorite author is probably Patricia Cornwell, with James Patterson a very close second.

                    I've read a lot of excellent books by excellent authors, but there isn't enough established work to consider them. Ken Follett wrote an amazing series (Pillars), but the rest of his work sucked. George R.R. Martin with GOT, but that's it. I used to be a huge fan of Clancy, but his stuff just started getting really redundant. Same with Koontz, King, Grisham, et al.

                    My all time favorite book is Trinity by Leon Uris.

                              i have a few Elmore leonard, stienbeck, hemmingway and Joe R Lansdale King is up there too...when he is good he is amazing.

                              but i guess tops would have to be Mark Twain

                                        I would like to read more of his books, but of the ones I've read, Vincent Bugliosi was a fantastic author.

                                          The only author that I liked enough to read ALL his work is Harlan Coben. He has a new book coming out next month and I can't wait.

                                                    Roald Dahl is AWESOME

                                                    The kids stuff was great but I LOVED "Tales of the Unexpected"

                                                    So for me:

                                                    (1) Roald Dahl

                                                    (2) Stephen King

It was a huge deviation from his usual horror stuff, was set in fabled medieval times. It's been probably 30 years since I read it but damn I remember it being really good.
