JJ DiBenedetto's Top 10 Favorite Authors!
It’s always hard to narrow down a list of my favorite authors – how do you limit a lifetime of reading to just ten names? But I’ll give it a shot – in no particular order, and if I did this list next week, it would probably look very different:
Stephen R. Donaldson – the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant are something of an acquired taste, but I love them.
J.K. Rowling – I don’t think I need to explain anything about her, do I?
Frank Herbert – and not just for the Dune series, either.
Mark Helprin – this is primarily for one book, “Winter’s Tale.” Which is, hands down, the best book I’ve ever read.
Nick Bantock – I loved the “Griffin & Sabine” books, but his other work (especially “The Venetian’s Wife”) is great, too.
Terry Pratchett – another name that requires no further explanation.
Rainbow Rowell – her books are almost TOO honest; I couldn’t reread “Eleanor and Park” because she did far too good a job of transporting me back to high school, a place I never, ever want to go back to.
Katharine Kurtz – the Deryni books are just amazing.
Alastair Reynolds – I’d call him the master of “hard” science fiction today.
Julian May – the Pliocene Exile books are one of my favorite works ever.
