    A nod to the Piers Anthony fans-there are a lot of us out here but we tend to lurk :) Plus he has the poor fortune to be an author that really pulls you into the fantasy genre but then you move onto others, so he's not as well-mentioned.

    My current favorite author is Jim Butcher - fantasy noir. A good description is one review that said "Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe". 13 books out, ~11 to go and he puts them out about one a year. All but the latest audio books are read by James Marsters (Spike from Buffy) if you are into audio. Latest by John Glover (Lionel Luthor, Lucifer).

    Patrick Rothfuss is another favorite. His first book 'The Name of the Wind' was so good I was glad I'd discovered it late and only had to wait a year for the next one. I think the final book in the trilogy is years away but will be oh so worth it. Old school fantasy genre.

    I have too many to even try to list. I go though novels/plays as if they are air. I have a few top faves...mostly classic authors...and a few contemporary. Lol. It's nice to look at everyones list and get a new author to enjoy.

    I'm not much of a book reader, but I really enjoy Mitch Albom and Nicolas Sparks.
