This being a literary forum, we all probably have a list of authors five miles long. Now's your chance to share one (apart from Daniel Handler) with the rest of the forum! Theme your profile accordingly and you may also wish to adopt their mannerisms.

Lauren Kate. Not my absolute favourite, but the most recent as of late.

Does anybody want to pour me a cup of tea? I consider tea to be the fuel which brings forth my dystopian feminist masterpieces. Oolong works best, dearie. Milk and sugar.

Jeff Noon is a brilliant british sci fi writer.
Hardly anyone has heard of him.

Smith is probably not my favourite favourite author, but I had about four to choose from, and only one day. I do like Oscar Wilde a lot, and a few others - plus some forty-two year old author from San Francisco whose name escapes me.

“There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless frolicking in the fields. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat sh*t and die.” -- Hunter S. Thompson
You can quote this dude endlessly. Kinda a like another guy I know and we all love.

I kinda played a wild card, as I figured most of the classic authors would be taken. Shaun Tan is an author and an illustrator, but predominantly an illustrator, and he's relatively unknown.

You've read it? I didn't know that his books were published in the UK, though, since most of the news relating to him concerns the US and Australia, if you get what I mean. But yeah, he is a genius.

[Oh, Dante, you took my Sherry Ann Radcliffe idea. Time to pull out the backup ...]
Has anyone seen my stories? I seem to have misplaced ... one or two of them ...

Agatha Christie has been one of my favorite writers for a very long time. Her mysteries are awesome if you ever get the chance to read them.

Cassandra Clare is a really fantastic writer. I was going to do Poe but someone else took it. She wrote The Mortal Instruments Series and the Infernal Devices (prequel series). The Mortal Instruments is currently being made into a movie, with Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower to play the leads. Her books are about the offspring of angels (born to human parents but their race has been mixed with angel blood, really complicated series) who are tasked with keeping demons out of our world.
