No. There is an American Psycho movie though, which is just as good as the book:

James Patterson, Stephen King, Oscar Wilde, Jeffrey Deaver, George Orwell.

Mostly crime/thriller books with the obvious exceptions of Wilde and Orwell.

Hmm, we wouldn't be posting here if it wasn't for him. How very odd.

[for those who don't know wtf I'm on about - He wrote 1984, which had the Big Brother concept in it]

I read too much to have a favourite.
J.D Salinger (If I had to choose) mainly because he gave us Holden Caulfield.
