Jane Austen
Quote by eroticwriter26
LOL Sass, me too.. I read Persuasion (granted it is a very small book) in like 3 or four hours. Mansfield Park was the first one I ever read and of course my fav.
I would also have to say Louisa May Alcott.
Quote by Pixie
I would have to say VC Andrews. Although her family is still publishing her stories from her memoirs. So I guess she doesnt count. lol

Pride and prejudice has always been my fave...![]()

But if I could only pick onne, it'd be, John Kennedy Toole, a superb young author who died before his first (and only) novel, A Confederacy of Dunces, was published.
"Leaving New Orleans also frightened me considerably. Outside of the city limits the heart of darkness, the true wasteland begins."

Yea it was alright.. I think though cause that one was always her most famous story I didn't really take to it much.. I read it once.. took me about 16 hour and never thought much about it again.

I was thinking of that earlier too. Hers were the first grown up stories I read my aunt offered me her at the time up to date collection, when I was shockingly only thirteen years old. It took me around 30 days to read her first 22 novels.

I have every single one of her books. Her newest ones are a bit out there, but I still enjoy them.

I think Charles Dickens would have a number of important things to say about the state of the world today.

No doubt, but I would hope he'd elucidate the Mystery of Edwin Drood first.
Quote by gypsymoth
Agreed.
Apart from Edwin Drood, what are your favourite books of Dickens?
Quote by Dancing_Doll
This is probably an unusual one for most, but I really got into Albert Camus in my first year of University.
Two of his novels, The Stranger (or L'Etranger) and The Fall, are still favourites of mine.

Love Camus, including The Stranger and The Fall. Have you read The Plague? I read a fair amount of Camus in an Existentialism class in college.

Yes, I read the Plague... I didn't like it as much though. I also read some Sartre, but those two books I mentioned are still my stand-out favourites.

Oh, God, Sartre. Being and Nothingness was an extremely taxing read.
