I have a few authors who I like for just one book,but I love at least 3 books by those authors. Besides J.K Rowling,it's all chick-lit!

J.K Rowling
Anthony Horowitz
Stephen King

I can't really think of many more, I usually like singular books and generally not authors.

Ahaha, I came in here to name Ian Rankin and Val McDermid only to see this is an old thread and I already posted the exact two names before, haha. At least they stood the test of time and passed!

Off the top of my head, J.R.Tolkin, J.K.Rowling (Although I haven't actually read much Happy Potter yet, it is on my to do list! ) and Roal Dahl.

I haven't read properly in agesss though, so it's not really that great a representation of what I like.

I was a big Agatha Christie fan when I was a kid. These days, I'll read anything.
