I haven’t got a favourite really, but Linwood Barclay is great

Donna Tartt is probably my favourite, she's only released 3 novels in like 30 years but all of them are some of my favourites of all time (The Secret History, The Goldfinch & The Little Friend).
David Nicholls - I particularly loved 'Us' and 'One Day' but I've also read Starter for Ten, and have been meaning to read 'The Understudy' for a while.
I loved Stieg Larsson's Millennium Saga and David Lagercrantz is doing well with it in lieu of Larsson's death :(
I'll also keep an eye out for future Anthony Doerr novels... 'All the Light We Cannot See' was perhaps my favourite novel of all time, absolutely beautiful story.
Jessie Burton's on a 2/2 streak for me as well, The Miniaturist was brilliant (and made for BBC TV last Christmas, or the one before) and I liked 'The Muse' too.

More historically... I love most of Kafka's stories with the exception of the Trial which I just found frustrating :worry: Metamorphosis is excellent, though, and there was a collection of short stories I loved.
Truman Capote's two novels I've read are both great (ICB, Breakfast at Tiffanys)... Oscar Wilde is god incarnate... and I've been on a James Baldwin binge lately.

HiRoald Dahl and Enid Blyton when I was younger and still today tbh. I remember the Cherub books by Robert Muchamore being my obsession growing up. :joker:

James Dasher (Maze Runner), Veronica Roth (Divergent), and basically any author who specializes in YA books.

R. J. Palacio did a great job writing Wonder and I'm still amazed at how she did it.

John Green

R. Innes.

John Green

My time machine worked! It's 2013 again! :flutter:

John Steinbeck for Of Mice & Men
J. D. Salinger for The Catcher in the Rye

Easily my two favorite books I've ever read.
(two of the few books I ever actually read in full :skull:)

Walliams?

[Oliver_W]

Walliams?

Why not? His books are really good to be fair.

[Marsh.]

Why not? His books are really good to be fair.

But they're for kids aren't they??

Honestly thought he wrote books like "The Caterpillar's Lunch".

[Oliver_W]

But they're for kids aren't they??

Honestly thought he wrote books like "The Caterpillar's Lunch".

Well, they're children's novels rather than picture books or chapter books.

[MTVN]

My studious literary pick would be Javier Cercas, love the way he writes

If I just really want a good read though then its Lee Child
