Who's your favorite author?

[Blackdog22]

I love reading, it's one of my favorite pastimes.
I would have to say my favorite author is Mr.King, though after reading a few of his books I cant help but feel a very apparent pattern(with the characters and the settings) though I cant tell you what it is. Perhaps it's just because he uses the last name "Freemantle" in allot of his books and doesnt explain why.

Im almost finished reading Duma Key, has anyone else read it?

Im not sure if I like it as much as his last works, it seems kind of....relaxed for him? Still a good book nonetheless.

The next book Im going to read is the Witching Hour by Anne Rice, she's a good writer but somewhat "hit and miss" for me. Im hoping the Witching Hour is as good as I have heard it is.
