    I love Natsuo Kirino. She's a Japanese psychological crime writer and her books are just fascinating. Favourite book by her is OUT, the first of her books to be translated into English.

    I love most Japanese writers, since their books hold elements of surrealism most of the time. I loved Daphne du Marier's Rebecca, as well.
    Favourite kids' book is probably Chris Riddells' "Edge Chronicles" series, which has similar attributes to Final Fantasy.

    This should win best thread ever or something.

    Contrary to most people who have posted so far, I generally dislike fantasy. I’ll certainly make exceptions but it has to be written well. Fantasy now a days just seems like a massive money making machine, a la Eragon.

    Instead I like what some people like to call “Surrealist fiction”, I personally don’t agree with that but bleh you can’t argue the majority. It’s stuff like Invisible monsters by Chuck Palahniuk or Rules of Attraction by Bret Easton Ellis. I read a great book called senseless the other day, was in a similar vein to fight club.

    My top three authors are as follows:
    Bret Easton Ellis
    Chuck Palahniuk
    Ben Elton

    My top three books (this IS subject to change)
    American Psycho
    Choke
    Popcorn

    I also like to read classics, though I'm not a big fan of Jane Austen I do like Charles Dickens, Donby and Son is a great book. Tolstoy is a genuis as well, I've read Lolita which was fantastic (and not about pedophillia already!) but I've never read War and Peace, it's on my "to read" pile but just looks so daunting.
