I just read Rainbow six by Tom Clancy who I have always liked due to some of his books that were made into movies.

Mercedes Lackey, George R.R. Martin, R.A. Salvatore, Robert Jordon. Those are the authors of the four biggest sets of books I own. I've loved every book/series I've read by them and have recommended each to various people at one point or another.

I have a lot of favorite series, ones that tend to be written by different authors, as well as favorite authors.

Like Lord Snow, I like George R.R. Martin, R.A. Salvatore, and Robert Jordan (and I'm hoping that the person that is finishing Jordan's last Wheel of Time novel can do as good a job as Jordan did). I also like Dean Koontz, Terry Brooks, and Michael Moorcock (Among MANY others).

Then I like reading Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Battletech, and Shadowrun (there are probably more, but I can't think of them at the moment).

I used to read a lot, and would finish several books a week, and generally retain the better share of it for quite a while. But my pace has slowed down quite a bit, and I've picked up a lot of things that need my time, so I'm lucky if I finish a book a week any more.

American writers? It's sad when literature becomes parochial.

Asimov, Arthur C, Farmer, Dick and the rest of the Golden Age.

Robert A Henlein, Albert Camus, the list is endless.

Check out Neil Gaiman, your list looks a lot like mine so I imagine you're probably an D&D nerd like myself. My Storyteller from a Vampire the Masquerade game I was in turned me on to Gaiman. Neverwhere, and Stardust are awesome books.

I used to love King, in college, and I've read a lot of James Patterson too. I call it bubble gum for the brain. Not necessarily good for you but still fun once in a while.

I tend to like individual books more than authors, Dune, Ender's Game, and Hyperion are all examples of books I loved, but really didn't like or couldn't get through the sequels.

Yep, guilty of being a D&D (among other games) nerd (and have been for 25 years , with a new campaign having started just 2 weekends ago). I've been curious about Gaiman but most of the time anymore, I'm limited to whatever the local Wal-Mart happens to get in (in addition to my personal library, which admittedly is huge, but growing much slower than it used to).

I've read all of the Dune books (except the newest one Paul of Dune ), all of the Ender series (again, except the new one). I still think that Ender's Game is the best of the whole series, and plan on introducing it to my son (once he's done reading all the Dragonlance novels , he's a huge reader like I used to be). Hyperion sounds vaguely familiar, but I don't think it is one I've read yet.
