Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" series were great up until "Confessor". Then they started getting a little thin on the ground.

But my all time fave has to be Hunter S. Thompson.

I'm quoting this post as it nearer my sentiments and i'm pleased to see several females mentioned.

How can anyone have a 'favourite' author?

That would imply reading only one genre and being very closed off to literature and learning.

I've just completed a Tom Rachman.

At the moment I am re - reading E.L.Doctorow.

That's not true at all. Someone can be your favourite author for a whole manner of different reasons. You may PREFER a certain genre to another (personally, I much prefer reading fantasy novels, yet like I said, Hunter S. Thompson is my favourite author- although his novels are fantastic, they're not fantasy in the sense of elves, dragons and magic). However you might like an author's style of writing, their use of language or syntax.

I don't think it implies only reading one genre at all. To have a "favourite", by definition, actually implies that there are a number to choose from. If you've only read one author, they're not your "favourite". You can't favour one person out of a group of just one.

I don't read much fiction but Ian Banks and Irvine Walsh are probably my favourite. I also enjoy James Robert Morrison's (aka JimBob of 90s indie band Carter USM) novels

Richard Moore has written several books on cycling and I love his writing style.
