NanceXToo Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Who would your author be? Okay I know that was a creepy way to put it haha. Or, for those of you going "huh?" because you don't read Stephen King :P If you had one favorite author at your beck and call and could get them to churn out your favorite books for you, because you just can't get enough of them or wanted to see a sequel or whatever, who would the author be, and which books would they be? Me, I'd love to have Diana Gabaldon writing Outlander books for me one after another so I could get my Jamie fix :D (Anyone else love those books as much as I do)? So, what about you guys?

KidsHappen Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well, mine used to be Stephen King himself but he is currently so many books ahead of me and is hogging a lot of shelf space that he could stop writing now and not break my heart at all. I don't read much other fiction so it would be hard to pick another author. I miss Harry but I don't know if something else by J.K. would be quite the same. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pajama Mama Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Agatha Christie! I love the atmosphere in her books. She had a diabolical mind. I've read most of her books so I know who the killer is in the books. A new mystery would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Wow, I'd need a mansion for my authors... But right now I'd take C.S. Lewis to write more about Narnia. And L.M. Montgomery to write more about Anne. (Funny, they are my favs from childhood...and that dirty birdie from Misery was very childish and a psycho!)

Mommyfaithe Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Laura Ingalls for my boys....funny, my girls didn't like her so much. Orson Scott Card's Ender series Rick Riordan...would love more Olympian stories and the real Stephen King would be good too...lol Faithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMamaBird Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Hahahahaha Great thread title! I'd kidnap Laurie R King (author of the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series) and make her write books for me all day long. :auto: Ooooh! I love those books! I guess I'd have her and Naomi Novik share a nice writing room:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6packofun Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Stephen King here as well. I would have him tethered to a desk until he finished a novel with me as the main character, a housewife gone mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 For me it would be a tie and really both authors keep me pretty busy reading their books. I usually only have a couple of months a year where I don't get to read a new book from one or the other.

NanceXToo Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Oh I agree with Charlaine Harris, and the Twilight books, too! And also the J.R. Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood books. Yum. You guys would like those if you like vampire books. Those and Laurel K. Hamilton books! Soooo no other Jamie, er, I mean, Diana Gabaldon fans here huh?

Mommy22alyns Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I'd go after George R.R. Martin.

elizabeth Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) For me it would be a tie and really both authors keep me pretty busy reading their books. I usually only have a couple of months a year where I don't get to read a new book from one or the other. Christine Feehan and Sherrilyn Kenyon :001_smile: Sherrilyn Kenyon has written a novel for a new series Chronicles of Nick that I am delighted to see. Her mythology and world building is interesting to me so I hope her series for YA is as good as her Darkhunters series. So to answer the question it would be Sherrilyn Kenyon, Stephen King and if we could bring back those who have gone to their reward, Walker Percy who wrote many novels, my favorite, The Moviegoer and John Kennedy Toole, author of A Confederacy of Dunces. The thought of never knowing how Ignatius Reilly's life worked out really bothers me. As far as Stephen goes I am working my way through The Dark Tower Series and loving every minute of it. I forgot to mention my favorite poet,there never has been nor will there ever be anyone more brilliant than Dylan Thomas. Unspeakably beautiful and undeniably tragic. Love, love, love Dylan Thomas.

Xuzi Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Anne McCaffery, mainly to force her to take back over writting the Pern books, instead of leaving it to her son. (I don't like his imagining of Pern at. all.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeBookBread Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I'd have a time machine, of course, and I would go back in time to fetch Elizabeth Gaskell, and first, have her finish Wives & Daughters. Then I would make her write more books. But I wouldn't be mean. I'd make her a very nice tea :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjbeach Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Mary Kay Andrews. Not my favorite author but definitely a cool author to capture. She could take me on a tour of Savannah. Take me to her home on Tybee Island. Go "junking" with me. Make me her famous southern Chicken Salad. And she seems like a lot of fun. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audrey Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Alice Hoffman and Umberto Eco - it is likely that it may be impossible to produce another book so satisfying as Foucault's Pendulum though. But, really I think I'd like to keep them around just to listen to them, as much as to have them write new books just for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 elizabeth's request for Dylan Thomas (great one, BTW!) made me think we'd have to sober him up first... and then I thought of Edgar Allan Poe. So I'd like to add Poe, please. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
