Question: Recommend authors!?
My favorite authors are Dan Brown, Michael Crichton, J!.K!. Rowling (cliche, i know), Tamora Pierce, and books like Uglies, Pretties, Specials; like books about the future!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you have read Pretties, Uglies etc!. then you may have already read the rest of Scott Westerfield's books!. However, if you haven't, you really should!. Peeps, its sequel and the Midnighters Trilogy were all incredible pieces by him!. I also have to agree with Stephenie Meyer, she is by far my favorite author!. You sound like you read a lot of the same things I do so I would also recommend Robin Cook!. He writes medical thrillers that are a little complex but have really interesting plots!. Hope this helps!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Depending on your age, some of Robert Heinlein's stuff is pretty decent!. I would especially recommend "Friday" as being abit more near future than his other works!.

For current authors, I really like Donald Westlake's Dortmunder stories!. The stories are crime capers where Dortmunder and his compatriots in crime attempt darring heists!. "What's The Worse That Could Happen!?," "Drowned Hopes" ane "Why Me!?" are all pretty funny!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Honeslty, at first I thought that the Twilight craz was stupid, but read them ohmygosh it's completly worth it!. They're amazing books, I mean the way Stephanie Meyer writes it's wonderful!. You have to read them!. You wont regret it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you like Uglies, you might like 1984 by Orwell and Brave New World by Huxley!.

I'm a fan of dystopias myself!.
