You are kidding?
Surely NO-ONE likes Shakespeare?
No offence if you really do, but much kudos. I mean, seriously, that's hard to read shit.

I have attempted, in my leisure time to read "clever" authors.
If I can't understand it, it's ditched.

I made an exception for Clockwork Orange though <333

Tolkien! Sara Douglass, R.A. Salvatore, Edgar Allen Poe, Christopher Moore, Douglas Adams, and a bunch of other ones that I can't remember right now.

JK Rowling.

Stephen King.

Makes me think, I've been a big fan of Stephen King,but am I the only one that now thinks he's really boring to read for like the 200 first pages of each of his books?
That really bothered me.
Like when he writes it's like,
'' And he ate the big red juicy apple that made him thought about when he was younger and he used to run in the fields with his big Golden Retriever called Kiki, because when his mother was younger her uncle used to call her kiki. He died in a car accident. His wife died several years ago...blablabla...''

See it started with a red apple and ended with a dead widow.

^ Im in the middle of reading IT. It does goes off on really weird tangents.

I've only read about half of one of his books, but it's a pretty good book.

So not true...I've read Billy Shakes outside of school and enjoyed it. After all, he is known as the greatest playwright of all time. The guy wasa genius.

I dont read books! unless they have pictures or photos in them haha

edgar allan poe
stephen king

To be fair, if you like William Shakespeare, you should like, or at least be open to, text language.
He invented his own language pretty much, several words he completely invented (for example: "bubble"), and he's called a genius, and yet people saying things they just made up are called retards and banned.

I don't really know what point I'm trying to make anymore...
But basically, I've read Othello and Julius Caesar, and I can't be a-doing with it anymore.

At least a few of his plays had actual plots. And his sonnets are actually beautiful...
I'm just saying, I'm not stupid, I have tried to read that stuff.

Oh and George Orwell. I like his work.

I cant believe more people dont like George Orwell?
Hello? Nineteen eighty-four, anyone?

I lied, too.

Paul Howard (aka Ross O'Carroll-Kelly) is my favourite author.
But he's irish, and you wouldnt get the humor in his books =[

francesca lia block.
margaret buffie.
mary e. pearson.

and that's that.

oh yeah and stephen king.

stevey king.

I bought a book of his collected essays last week. It's surprisingly readable.

I can never remember authors names but I guess the usual lot: Jane Austin, Phillip Pulman, Eoin Colfer, Michael Palin, Spike Milligan, John Grisham and lots of other random people.

I also quite like Shakespeare, once you manage to work out what's going on the poetry of his writing is brilliant.

actually ive only read half of salems lot but i know hes great lol.

Alexandre Dumas
Roald Dahl
Nick Hornby
Anne Rice
etc

J.K. Rowling
Anne McCaffrey
Jane Yolan

I LOVE Cornella Funke's books (I doubt I spelled that right.)
J.K. Rowling.
But I don't read books often.

I like any manga authors (they all have Japanese names that I can't pronounce)

He is awesome!

Hough Hefner

Tolkien, Poe, and Douglass Adams, definatley.
Other than that...uhm...I like F. Scott Fitzgerald (Great Gatsby).
And to be really ridiculously intellectual and lame: Ralph Waldo Emerson is good.
Oh, and there's this author named Tom Holt that I really like, too. And Christopher Moore is good.
