I really don't have a favorite author but I read books written by John Grisham, Thomas Harris, Anne Rice, Stephen King, Haruki Murakami, Nick Hornby and Koji Suzuki.

I also love the works of Virginia Woolf, Jane Austen and Oscar Wilde.

Dave Pelzer because his books are the true story of his life. He was an abused child, and the books are an account of the terrible things he went through from a child to a man. They are a must read.
