Default Favorite Authors?   #1  
I'm curious to know what sort of writers people like, and why if people care to explain. Are there any paricular authors you are fond of? Any that you don't normally like but perhaps found a specific book to be good?

I used to read a lot of R.A. Salvatore books. He was my favorite for a while but I make the mistake of reading way too many without taking any breaks and now I find his stuff too predictable.

I've started reading a book by Guy Gavriel Kay, who I've heard lots of good things about, though I'm still deciding myself. One currentn author that I find I like is George R.R. Martin, even though I didn't like Game of Thrones and ultimately got rid of the book (I was 350 pages in so I figured I gave it a fair try). I picked up an anthology of short stories from him though, so see if I like those any better.

I have to say I liked G.R.R Martin's writing, even though I wasn't so fond of the story. I find I have the reverse situation with Tolkein. Great story behind Lord of the Rings, but I wasn't too fond of the actual writing.
