I have two favourite authors...

Piers Anthony, the Incarnation Series. There's seven in the series, well, actually eight but the eigth was never published. Long story. Each book in the series centers around the Incarnations of Immortality...Fate, War, Nature, Death, Time, Evil & God. I had the third book of the series since my teen years (read a million times) and it wasn't until I discovered Amazon.ca that I thought to look for the rest of the series. I'm up to Book 5 and I haven't found one yet that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is also a favourite of mine. It started when I was on a city bus and there was an elderly gentleman sitting beside me reading Marquez's Collected Stories and I couldn't help but read over his shoulder. I know, rude of me but I couldn't help myself! I searched the library for every Marquez book that I could find and read them all, sometimes two or three times. His writing is somewhat dark and abstract but extremely engaging.

Well since i am a hopeless romantic i love romance stories!

If anyone is into that sort of thing i can only recommend
the Dark-Hunter, Dream-Hunter series by Sherilyn Kenyon.

Why do i like the series?
Well it all fits perfectly together. Characters from a previous book are mentioned in the next and the one after that. The story flows and is unique.
Especially the parts where the greek gods come in a lot of her stories about them is based on true facts and then worked into the story.
As i said i can just recommend it really!
