Who are your favorite authors, poets, and/or playwrights? What about their styles makes them so interesting to you?
I'm mostly asking because I'll take them as suggestions if they sound interesting, but it could always make for a good conversation.

Oh, I'm a fan of the works of Shakespeare and the various writers of the Forgotten Realms books. I'm very into fantasy as a genre in general, and if you give me a good story starring the great Drizzt Do'Urdon or his friends, I'll most likely love it.

It's rare that someone tells me they're a fan of Shakespeare. What are some of your favorite plays/poems from him?
I don't believe I've read the Forgotten Realms, but I'll look it up.

James Pattersonand his Maximum Ride series,along with his witch and wizard series. i've even read When the Wind Blows by James PAtterson... i recomend it.

>>1 Personally, I also like Shakespeare. I prefer Hamlet personally, just because of the way the people were used and such.
Right now, I'm interested in The Art of War by Sun Tzu >sorry if the name isn't correct. I also really like Robert Cormier's books, such as The Chocolate War.
Basically I like dark books, but I also enjoy lighter books.

>>4 I like Patterson, his stuff is good. When the Wind Blows is good, but I prefer the Alex Cross series.

I love the beowulf and gilgamesh story. also le morte de arthur.

It goes without saying that Shakespeare is amazing. Besides him, my favorite author is Neil Gaiman and my favorite book by him is The Graveyard Book. I recommend it to all.
