Francine Rivers.. hands down. I have read all of her books once, many twice and one I have read at least 5 times. And I'm thiking it's about time to read it again and let God challenge me again through it. Probably not much reading for most guys, unless you like some that have a tad romance (in some, not all). All of her books draw from the Word of God and challenge me to no end.

 

[nadroj1985]

Ayn Rand ( ), Kurt Vonnegut, Tim O'Brien, and JD Salinger.

Nice list, except for Ayn Rand. I haven't read any of her stuff yet. I haven't really had the time, since her books are so huge. I have heard a lot of good things about Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, though. I love Vonnegut and Salinger. Slaughterhouse Five is one of my favorite books ever.

My favourite author is Emily Rodda

She wrote my absolute favourite series of books, Deltora Quest!

 

[twosteppin]

C.S Lewis is a favorite of mine. I like J.K Rowling's books

 

[Loki]

Fyodor Dostoevsky, Eugene O'Neill, James Joyce, John Steinbeck, Kurt Vonnegut, Oscar Wilde, not necessarily in that order.

Thank you. The Fountainhead is so-so but Atlas Shrugged is amazing. Probably my favorite book. And yes, Slaughterhouse Five is incredible. I love Vonnegut's satire.

"Anthem" is a good book from Rand but I was a little too young when i read it to fully understand her message.

"Anthem" is a good book from Rand but I was a little too young when i read it to fully understand her message.

Anthem was the first book of hers I read as well. It's alright. It's really basic though. It's the very beginnings of her philosophy, so not a lot is really explained yet. Personally, I think Atlas Shrugged is where it's at. No one really needs to read any of her other stuff, just go straight to Atlas Shrugged.

 

[flowerthief]

Yes, Atlas Shrugged is superb.

 

[JunkyardGospel]

By far George MacDonald!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then C.S.Lewis, Oswald Chambers, Charles Williams, and Stephen Lawhead. (These of course after God, the Author of all creation.) God Bless.

 

[kc5hwb]

James Byron Huggins would be first. Followed closely by Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker and a few others. I have several others authors that I want to read, but have not started yet. I have a long list of books to read.

Anyone like any good Christian Thrillers? Sci-Fi and Suspense? Any Suggestions?

 

[Heavenlyangeleyes07]

My favorite author would have to be lori wick,there are alot more authors that i also enjoy but it would be too many to list, But its nice to read books from other authors that i haven't read any of thier books.

 

[Tsunamigrrl]

Kurt Vonnegut..by far..a fellow Hoosier! and with Anthony Burgess in second (A Clockwork Orange)

 

[GrnEyes]

My fav is Laurell K Hamilton

 

[kalsonberry]

[oceanofdreamz]

[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]! The only author that counts... FRANK PERETTI! His books are amazing I wish He'd write another story which I doubt will take place :crys:
