Asalaamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu,

My current favorite ones are Christopher Paolini and Sharon Creech. :D
 
:sl: When i was a child i was besotted with C.S.Lewis and The Chronicles of Narnia......................... as an adult i quite like Josephine Cox, Maeve Binchy,(I did say as an adult.... I should of put OAP!)..............:w:
 
:sl:

Hans Anderson was really good. Others I liked as a kid and still read when I'm bored are Judith Viorst, Beverly Cleary, Astrid Lindgren, and Gordon Korman, andd...more adult choices are Charles Dickens, Agatha Christie, Ernest Hemingway, and some others whose names I can't remember. lol
 
Well dickens. obviously. you either love him or you hate him. and i cant live without him :P

roald dahl.

Contemporary authors for me would be Steven Erikson for his A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series and Robert Jordan, but only his early Wheel of Time books. Umm...J. R. R. Tolkien is good, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, good sources for an aspiring fantasy author.

And I have a liking of Stephen King as well. I haven't really explored fiction that's not fantasy, sci fi, and horror, though I intend to change that and will start by reading Huckleberry Finn and its prequel. Really all the classics.

Hehe.. I loved Biggles as a kid. They are dated in some ways but terrific entertainment. By Hitchcock do you you mean the 'Three Investigators' stuff, or something else? I don't think he wrote any of them, he was just a name to sell them. Still great fun though.. I remember Terror Castle, Stuttering Parrott and Whispering Mummy after what must be thirty years - most adult novels I've forgotten a month after reading them. I think the Strugatsky brothers 'Roadside Picnic' is the only decent novel I've read in years, although to be fair I do read mostly non-fiction.
