I hate to say this but I don’t have a favourite author. I have a few authors that I really enjoy and have some books that I have loved reading over the years but none that stick out sadly.
I am currently reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman and really enjoying it so far. I’m happy there’s another two books after this one so I can continue the adventures.
Do you have a favourite author yourself? I need some inspiration!
Many thanks,
Wayne ✌🏽

My favourite author is Leo Tolstoy. He’s amazing at getting into his character’s heads and it doesn’t surprise you what happens. He’s a misogynist, but even though I’m a woman, I like him

You’re welcome. One of my friends said that it’s a testament to his writing if he’s my favourite author, and yet I’m a woman and hardcore feminist

I keep thinking I’ll find a newer replacement, but my favorite remains Kurt Vonnegut.

I just realized that I only answered half your question. Reading Kurt Vonnegut caused me to realize that you don’t have to follow someone else’s guidelines when you’re writing.

He’s best know for ‘Slaughterhouse Five’ but I would start with ‘Breakfast of Champions.’

Great thanks. Slaughterhouse five sounds scary!

It’s (at least partially) based on his experience as a prisoner of war during the fire bombing of Dresden. It’s a very good book, but Breakfast of Champions was the one that caused me to realize you can write the way you feel like writing (which inspired my writing).

The Richard Osman books are charming and I’ve read all three. Favourite authors are ones I return to time and time again such as Margaret Attwood, Evelyn Waugh, Kazuo Ishiguro and Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

If I had to choose, it would be E.M.Forster. I particularly enjoy his short stories. A second is Ruskin Bond.

It’s totally ok to not have a favourite Author, Wayne. It leaves you open to trying all kinds of books out which is really cool xx

I don’t have anyone particular in mind. I read almost constantly. I enjoy a good story and if
I find a book I really like I will stick with that author till I run out. Last time I bought a book was the series by Debrah Harkness called a All souls Trilogy. it was then made into a series for TV and you can buy it in DVD. Small print and a lot of reading about Vampires, witches and daemons and humans. but very interesting. I see there is now a 4th book out have to check it out. lol
