Favorite Author? Just one!

For me, Gabriel García Márquez. I have had many most favorites over the years and binged them all but Gabo has spoiled me for the rest. I re-re-read him and am now struggling to read the originals in Spanish

Iain Banks, by the shortest of noses.

Isaac Asimov- the foundation series was awesome

Mark Twain. There are many other and some more modern, but Mark Twain made the biggest impression on me as a young person.

Isaac Asimov

I read his joke book

Pratchett.

Yep, me too.

Yes!

Doug Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide series and the Dirk Gently series are great

I love the Hitchhikers trilogy. All six books 😉

Interesting trivia, it actually started as a radio show, and the books came later.

For Dirk Gently, have you seen the (recently ended/cancelled) series? Seriously outrageously strange, but it grew on me.

Phillip K Dick. His stories are so imaginative and chock full of wonderful philosophy. He can be hard to read at times but it's worth it.

I also like the Enderverse series by Orson Scott Card.

George RR Martin

Mine is Christopher Hitchens. This mans mind trapped everything he read for recall at the appropriate time.

Roger Zelazny. No contest for me.

Dan Brown. 🙂 i was thrilled by his brain twisting ideas specially his “digital fortress”

Milan Kundera.
all answers subject to change in 5, 4, 3, 2.....

Carl Hiaasen is one of my favorites. He is laugh out loud funny and because I lived in Florida for 20 some years I can relate to the surroundings and characters in his books.

Terry Pratchett, if I'm only allowed one.

Joseph Heller Catch 22 is the greatest novel ever written.
