These are just a few of the many authors. If your favourite isn't on here, tell us who it is!
So far I'm really liking Anna Sewell and Jane Austen, and I loved the Famous Five series by Enid Blyton when I was younger.

Ooh! This is so difficult! I'm trapped between C.S. Lewis, F.H. Burnett, and Jane Austen.
I can't decide! Help! -
Of this list, I must say C.S. Lewis, as his The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was the first book I really felt swept away with; the first book with which I entered another world. And even as I reread it, getting older, I can still appreciate it, and I see things that I missed the first time. It's the kind of book that can grow up with you, and that's a huge sign that something's truly great.
Jane Austen was a close second, but C.S. Lewis definitely won out in the end. -
Burnett or Wilder! Burnett or Wilder!

Although I love CS Lewis, my favorite has to be Harper Lee. She wrote on e book, but she is one of the best authors on this Earth because of that one book. For any who want to read a review of her book (not a publicity stunt, I swear), read my review in the November edition of Squills.

It's strange how I only know two of those, and have only read from one...
I like Dostoevsky a lot, so he is certainly one of my favorites. As to American Literature, I have fallen deeply in love with Hawthorne, and perhaps Irving runs slightly behind him. For American poetry, I'm currently enamored by Longfellow, but because my knowledge on poetry is small, that may change. As for Brit lit, I can't speak a whole lot. I have that class next year, haha. Wilde is Irish, so, hm. I do not know. And with French, I like Dumas, though I honestly haven't read very much by him. -
I had read some but I love more Edgar Allan Poe.

I'm sticking with 'other.' Have you tried Elizabeth Gaskell? (North and South, Ruth, Crandford) I love her books; they have so much spark to them, and they are very modern. Plus, you know, N+S got made into a miniseries with Richard Armitage... perhaps that had something to do with my newfound liking

I was tempted by C.S. Lewis, and then there was Austen… and I don’t know the rest, so the choice was narrowed down by that. Ah, decisions, decisions… In the end I chose ‘other’, with Emily Bronte hiding behind it. “Wuthering Heights…”
I’d sing paeans, really. -
Jane Austen!!! Jane Austen!!!!
Her books are just so great!!! -
I'm in love with the works of the great Oscar Wilde
-
I clicked Jane Austen but i like the Bronte sisters just as much as her- but i couldnt vote twice and click other
-
Tolkien is my favourite writer, always will be--but out of the classics you have mentioned...
Austen, I would say. I love her great descriptions and romance... just fantastic. -
I would have to go with tolkein as well. He's my favorite author that I consider classic, out of everyone it would have to be Brian Jacques or Cornelia Funke
-
C.S. Lewis. I love The Silver Chair, and the rest of Narnia. He's my favorite classic author, but I still like the Bronte sisters, Jane Austen, and Leo Tolstoy.
Favorite author of all time: Eva Ibbotson. *just check my sig*
