Rowling (Again, we all know) 5) All of my favorite poets-Poe, Frost, the Rossetties, Whitman, Blake, ect. ect 6) Shakespeare 7) Who wrote Artemis's Foul?  Yeah, that's good. Homer (READ the Illiad and Oddessey!) I am so sorry I had so many.  Anyway, those are my favorites, but George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, L.J. Smith, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Plato (the Republic ROCKED) and Jane Austen definately deserve a noteable spot.

A just question my lord.. 1. Bernard Werber. (french one.) 2. R.A. Salvatore. (for the Dark Elf Trilogy. the best fantasy book after Tolkien.) 3. Pearl Buck. 4. Edward S. Curtis. (yes, more a photograph than a writer, but he translated so much American Indian Stories, legends, and Myths.) 5. Michael Ende. (for his wonderful "The Neverending Story") But there are so much more in reality..
