    Dean Koontz (especially the Odd Thomas series)
    Piers Anthony (especially the Incarnations of Immortality series)

    I don't know if I've ever met another person that loves Piers. I haven't read any of that series, but I've read all except the newest of the Xanth series (and most of the others at least twice).

    I also like Trudy Canavan, JRR Tolken, and Christopher Paolini.

    LOVE Piers Anthony - the absolute, uncontested King of Puns!! (Obviously, Xanth series is my fave.) The non-fiction book he did about editors cracked me up - can't think of the title right now. I adored "Letters to Jenny" too.

    I've been on a Dean Koontz binge for some time now, just going through one after another. The Odd Thomas series is one of the best series I've ever read, of any fictional genre. I also loved how he wove so many different genres into "Tick Tock" - that was awesome!!


    I LOVE Odd Thomas too- ooohmygosh! Don't get me started! :D

    My current favorite is Christopher Moore. Man is a GENIUS. I actually got to meet him, too. He's as funny in person as he is on paper.

    My absolute favorite is Ray Bradbury. He's been a strong influence in my own writing over the years.

    gonna have to friend you. Chris is a genius, "Lamb" is in my top 5, and I met Mr Bradbury, :)

    Oh, and Zafron " Shadow of the Wind". John Kennedy Toole "A Confederacy of Dunces". Steinbeck's "East of Eden". Fitzgerald. Cather. Katherine Anne Porter. Oh, my, too many to list.

    Nonfiction? Try John Krakauer, anything. Sebastian Junger. I actually read more non-fiction than novels...message me if anyone one needs a recommendation.... :)

    How could I forget Philip K ****... brilliant, absolutely brilliant mind, that man.

    I have quite a few favorites, so I will write the one who is most influential to me-Kate Bornstein. Her book literally saved my life.
