So who is/are everyone\'s favorite author(s) to read? I know that the profile page offers this question, but this allows anyone who wants to the opportunity to elaborate on it.
My Favorites:
Ayn Rand- Atlas Shrugged/Anthem...couldn\'t put either of these books down.
Tolstoy- War and Peace...for being one of the longest pieces of literature ever written, I couldn\'t put this one down either.
Dostoyevsky- his writing is dark, cynical, and at times twisted...yet I love it.

Stephen Lawhead: Historical fiction with a
Christian viewpoint.
Louis LaMour: (now deceased) Western
Novels. Although they were fiction,they
were geographically accurate.
C.S. Lewis: What more needs to be said.
George MacDonald: Gothic Novels. A fellow
member of the Inklings with Lewis and
Tolkien, of whom Lewis said, \"He is my
master\"
Andrew Murray: A South African Dutch
minister began my interest in prayer.
Fr.\'s Florovsky, Schemman, Archbishops
Hilarion, Ware.
These will do for a start!

Don\'t forget Vladimir Volkoff - good writer, Orthodox in faith and outlook. He wrote in French but some of his novels have been translated into English.

Elizabeth Goudge (Pilgrim\'s Inn, Green Dolphin Street, etc.), LM Alcott, Dickens, C.S Lewis--I recently read The Great Divorce and LOVED it. I also love G.K Chesterton\'s Ballad of the White Horse. I haven\'t read it since high school, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. That\'s just a sampling...

I am a huge fan of Russian literature, especially Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Tolstoy and Gogol. Some other random personal favorites are: James Joyce, William Faulkner, George Orwell, Flaubert, Tolkien, Proust, Goethe, and of course Shakespeare. I also like Evelyn Waugh.
Some non-fiction writers I enjoy are Frs. Schmemann, Meyendorff, and Pomazansky; Metropolitan Kallistos; Christopher Hitchens (yes, I know, but he's an excellent prose stylist); Chomsky; Edward Said. Too many to name!
I love Russian literature too. Tolstoy is my favorite, but they\'re all wonderful!
