Not in order and only 4, I need to find more authors I like.

Lee child
Mathew Rielly
Andy remic
Jack Higgins


Can you tell, I don't like complicated story lines, needs to be macho hero main character and be the main character in all books.
 
In order:
1. George R.R Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire is imo, best book series ever wrote.)
2. Stieg Larsson (The Millennium Trilogy - Rapidly ascended to second in my list)
3. Darren Shan (The Demonta - Darren Shan (Books about an imaginary version of him))
4. J.K Rowling (Harry Potter)
5. J R.R Tolkien (The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings)
 
Never read much as a child, in fact I can only remember finishing 3 book series. I was really fussy when it came to books, had to be something which really hooked me.

So in order I have
- Robert Muchamore - Cherub Series
- Anthony Horowitz - Alex Rider Series
- JQ Rowling - Harry Potter
 
Bernard Cornwell
Lee Child
P G Wodehouse

& 2 from
George R R Martin

I am waiting to start reading Bernard Cornwell, just cant seem to get the first Sharpe book in any charity shops around me
 
My top 5 favourite authors:

  1. Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game, amongst many others)
  2. Trudi Canavan (The Magicians Guild Trilogy)
  3. Alan Dean Foster (Author of many Star Wars books)
  4. James Herbert (The Rats & many other brilliant horror stories)
  5. Stephen King (Though admittedly his last few books have been pretty poor imo)

// Edit - I also have to include the late, great Arthur C Clark in this. The man was not only a phenomenal author but a true visionary and genius. :)

What about one of the other series? I'd recommend the Warlord trilogy about 'king' Arthur which starts with The Winter King.

My five:
Iain (M) Banks
Terry Pratchett
Sergei Lukyanenko
Alan Moore
Joh Le Carre
