Who are your favorite authors and Why?

[Acies]

I enjoy spending some time reading, 10 books on average per year - so it's hard to pick a favourite. I'm also having trouble remembering names, so I'm just going to pick a few I come up with.

Khaled Hosseini - A Thousand Splendid Suns & The Kite Runner.

Hari Kunzru - The Impressionist.

Stephen King. Appeals to my sci-fi/supernatural taste.

Nick Perumov. Fun fantasy series :]

I'd recommend reading "The Impressionist" if you haven't read it. Recently re-read it and I still enjoyed it :]
