Post and tell me if you share my interest in these authors:

-William Sleator (Wrote Interstellar Pig, Singularity, House of Stairs, The Boxes, Marco's Millions, and much more)

-Lemony Snicket / Daniel Handler (Wrote A Series of Unfortunate Events, all of its companions, and some other book I'm too lazy to look up)

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery (Wrote The Little Prince, an ingenious allegory which I suggest that everyone read)

-Louis Sachar (Wrote the Wayside School trilogy, Holes, Small Steps, and much more.

-J.K. Rowling (everyone knows what she wrote :lol: )

-Douglas Adams (Wrote all five books, of the Hitchhiker's trilogy, as well as the two Dirk Gently novels and four episodes of Doctor Who)

-Shel Silverstein (A kids' poet with mad writing and illustrating skillz)

-J.R.R. Tolkien (Wrote The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth, and many other books which belong to the same series)

-L. Frank Baum (Wrote The Wizard of Oz and all 13 of its sequels, as well as Little Wizard Stories of Oz, The Magical Monarch of Mo, Queen Zixi of Ix, The Sea Fairies, Sky Island, and numerous other books that intertwine with the Oz books in some way or another)

-Roald Dahl (Wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Matilda, The Witches, The B.F.G., and too much other stuff to list.

-Jules Verne (Wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, From the Earth to the Moon, Round the moon, Around the World in 80 Days, and many more great sci-fi classics)

-Eoin Colfer (Wrote the Artemis Fowl series)

-C.S. Lewis (Wrote The Chronicles of Narnia) Thanks to Turakii for pointing this one out!

-Greg Farshtey (Shame on you if you don't like this man's books.)

 

This doesn't even mention some great picture book authors or others whom I have neglected to mention.

Wow, Sleator was the last person who I expected a BZPer to recognize. Of course, there is a member named Luap, so I should have known better. The others you listed are introduced to many readers over time.

I have heard of both of those authors, although I haven't read books by either of them.

 

Glad to know people appreciate Sleator. :)

J.R.R. Tolkien is a very good writer, and it is in reading his books I have been inspired to draw masterpieces (which don't turn out as masterful as I would like) or write wonders (though I haven't done it yet).

 

And Greg Farshtey is also excellent. Many have attempted to imitate his work.

 

I have read Roald Dahl, but my favorite was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

 

 

Have you read C.S. Lewis? (Just wondering...he's up there with J.R.R. Tolkien.)

Oh my! How could forget C.S. Lewis? I must have been rushing.

 

And I agree that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a work of genius. Also, have you read Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, its sequel? That's another great work by Dahl.
