Franklin W. Dixon isn't a real person.

Seriously, "he" started out as a small group of authors who collaborated on the Hardy Boys books. Since then, it may have morphed into only one person writing the books, but still, it's not who you think it is...

G A Henty. He wrote historical fiction, mostly set in the 100-1500 AD time frame.

My favorite Authors.. Oh, Most Deffinately, Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker! But, I also enjoy the writings of.. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoraeu, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Those three, just rock the world!. And of course, there's Douglas Adams. Heh, satire of a drunken hitchiker. And of course, the ever compelling, John Grisham, and Robert Ludlam.

Tolkien I enjoy because of his beautiful storytelling style and the way he can describe a scene or situation to great detail without making the passage drudgery. The characters are also wonderful and nearly always force the reader to actually care what happens to them. The subtle weaving of Christianity into the story is also fascinating to me (no, I am definitely not saying that it is allegory).
RIGHT ON!


Tolkien is my altime favorite author (that I have read books from). I agree with what you said about his style, and the movies are AWESOME. The only thing that sucks is I have seen the movies before reading the books, so I already know, for the most part, what will happen when I'm reading them for the first time. But they are still great books and they don't bore me at all.

My list:
Frank Peretti
Ted Dekker
C.S. Lewis
Michael Crichton
Douglas Adams (recent favorite; i discovered the hitchhiker's series)
Brian Jacques
J.R.R. Tolkien (though i'm ashamed to say that I read the Hobbit and the Fellowship of the Ring before I saw the movies, but I could never get through the Two Towers)
Pat McManus

John Grisham would be up there, but I've read too few of his books; just the Testament, which was awesome, and The Street Lawyer and Bleachers (which, btw was so depressing.) Clive Cussler is pretty good too.

My favorite author is C.S. Lewis. I'm trying to read everything he's written. Other than that it's a huge list, here's some of my recent favorites: J.R.R. Tolkien, E.P. Roe, Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker, Austen, Francine Rivers, Dickens
