Thought it might be good to bring this over to a new thread so the other off topic thread doesn't become too off topic.

Favorite English authors would have to include: Sir Francis Bacon, Sir Issac Newton, Daniel Defoe, John Wyclife, Shakespeare and Agatha Christie. I have eclectic taste. Favorite modern author-girl, we are on the same page here! Francine Rivers, hands down. "Redeeming Love" was awesome. I wouldn't read it for the longest time because the title sounded too "girly." Glad that a friend kept insisting. She has some other truly good ones also.(Edit-forgot to include Dickens!)

Okay, non-English author favorites? And does anyone else have some favorites they would like to share?

right now i only have time for my favorite author, Steve Gloer and team. I'm making my way through all his works. soon i will start one of his more popular ones - statistics. i hear it's highly rated and i can't wait to begin. i'm so lucky to have discovered his teachings.

when free time is more available i enjoy a variety of authors. i always read John Grisham's new book and i enjoy Michael Crichton's books. i like books were i learn something new, even if it is a small fact or concept. i think that is why i like science fiction, i like to look at common things from a different angle or viewpoint.
