George Orwell, a writer of real importance! 1984, seems to gain more importance everyday as we all come under more surveillance form the government. His ofther novels hold real social value.

Dean Koontz is my favorite author.  First of all because he is absolutely spellbinding, I can't put his books down until I've finished them.  Also, a lot of times he writes about things that could happen.  And lastly because once I wrote to him and he responded with a very nice handwritten letter and an autographed picture which I have hanging on my wall, framed.  That tells me he is as great a man as he is a writer.

Sci-Fi/Fantasy.  My favorite author was Andre Norton.  I also like Mercedes Lackey and the dragonlance saga.  A good author can take you to another planet with their details and engrossing stories.  I tried to read a romance novel but I couldn't get into it. To much staring into each others eyes etc,stuff.   Some of them are almost like soft porn but in a prettier package..

My favorite has always been Shakespeare. There's lots of help on the web for it, and it's just classic. To understand Shakespeare will give you lots of laughs especially with these new teen movies out that rip him off :) Plus it's just cool to read the stories that have inspired people for hundreds of years.

I could go on forever but I'll give you the short list of favorites. \n\nWhere the Wild Things Are.........Maurice Sendak\n\nanything by Audrey and Don Wood.....they are a husband and wife team that write wonderful, fun stories with beautiful pictures.....favorites are Napping House, King Bidgoods in the Bathtub, Heckedy Peg, \n\nMaryanna Cusimano Love wrote two books I love......one is Your are my I love you.....the other is Christmas themed...You are my Miracle......\n\nEric Carle books are great.........Daddy get the Moon for me.......Very Hungry Caterpillar.....etc.\n\nMean Soup........that one is at school, forget the authors name but its a great book about what to do with strong feelings.....fun for the kids to act out\n\nOwl Babies.......forget the author and my copy is at school...book about children missing their Mommy but how she always comes back, invaluable in my classroom at the beginning of the year when children are having seperation anxiety\n\nThere are a lot of books out that you sing instead of \nread.......variations on twinkle twinkle little star, itsy bitsy spider and so on that are fun and kids really love\n\nI tend to look for books that have a rhythmn or beat, rhymes are fun and words that repeat are great cuz the kids learn them and read along.  Books that the children can act out are wonderful too.  It really fosters a love for books if you can take a favorite book and base art, science, math and other activities around it.

Anne rice is my favorite arthur of all time.  i have almost every boook she's ever written. yes i've read them all too.  everyone thinks she's another gothis freak because she writes about vampires anf witches, but that's not the case at all.  it's about modern society and how we interact with eachother in the wrong way.  a vampire3 villing in her book could represent opression, or the violation of your neighbors rights while exercising your own.  i think she's a more talented arthur them most give her credit for.  Who's your favorite charecror? Mine is claudia.  i can relate.  instead of an adult in a childs body in many way's i'm a child in an adults body.

Sci-Fi is my favorite genre. These are my suggestions in no particular order,\n\n1) Anything by the grand masters: \nIsaac Asimov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_asimov\nRobert Heinlein http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_heinlein\nArthur C. Clarke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_C_Clarke\nRay Bradbury http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Bradbury\n\n2) James P. Hogan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_P._Hogan_%28writer%29\nOne of my personal favorites. He does hard science fiction. The kind where the fictional science is almost believable.  I own all of his books and it would be difficult to pick a favorite. Some that come immediately to mind are "Inherit the Stars", "Thrice Upone a Time", "The Genesis Machine", "The Two Faces of Tomorrow"\n\n3) Frederik Pohl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederik_Pohl\nThe Heechee Series is a great read starting with "Gateway" which won both the Hugo and Nebula awards sometime in the mid-70's\n\n4) Frank Herbert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Herbert\nDune. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28novel%29\nIf you haven't already, then at some point you must read this. It is a bona fide classic. Period.\n\n5) Orson Scott Card http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_scott_card\nThe Ender Saga starting with "Ender's Game"\n\n6) William Gibson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ford_Gibson\nThe Sprawl Trilogy starting with the classic "Neuromancer".  I believe "cyberspace" was first coined in this book, and there is also reference to "the matrix - Mankind's unthinkably complex consensual hallucination representing cyberspace"\n\n7) Anne McCAffrey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_McCaffrey\nShe writes good stories and her lead character is female, which is a switch from most scifi. I'd recommend anything in her Dragonriders of Pern series starting with "Dragonflight".  I'd also recommend her Crystal Singer Series starting with "Crystal Singer".\n\n.. that's just for starters.  I have about 700 sci-fi novels in my personal library.  I won't list them all for you! :)\n\n\n=============================\nOn the Fantasy side\n\n1) Everything by Tolkien http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien\n\n2) The Chronicles of Narnia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narnia\nby C.S. Lewis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._S._Lewis\n\n3) The Thomas Covenant Chronicles, The Unbeliever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Covenant\nby Stephen R. Donaldson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_R._Donaldson\nstarting with "Lord Foul's Bane"\n\n\n=============================\nHere's a lot of references for you to find the kinds of scifi/fantasy books that interest you.\n\nAbout the Hugo awards:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Award\nList of Hugo award winning authors:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hugo_Award_winning_authors\nList of Hugo award winning novels:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Award_for_Best_Novelx\n\nAbout the Nebula awards:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula_Award\nList of Nebula award winning authors:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nebula_Award_winning_authors\nList of Nebula award winning novels:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nebula_Award_for_Best_Novel\n\nList of works that have won both the Hugo and Nebula awards:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_joint_winners_of_the_Hugo_and_Nebula_awards
