who is your favorite writer and why

Different writers offer different things, but overall I think the author who most broadly delivers consistently engaging plots, dimensional characters, and profound messages is actually Stephen king for me, which is funny because he has a reputation for being confined as a genre writer. I don't think any of his books even break my top 5, but his books are consistently great for me, whereas I find most authors have some great, some decent, etc.

Don't wanna be an asshole but have you read anything else?
On the other hand, Stephen King has a shit ton of books written. So many great writers leave you with the impression that they wrote to little. At least you got that going.

No other author has been able to make me feel so many emotions with their writing. Except for George RR Martin. I recently read IT and he'd have me laughing with the Losers club one minute, spitting with fury at Beverly 's dad and feeling straight up terrified whenever Pennywise appeared.

Although no other book has made me feel so tense and anxious than Misery.

His dialogue is consistently brilliant and realistic. He has a fantastic way of getting into a characters mind and making them jump off the page. Even though she terrifies the life out of me Annie Wilkes is one of his best characters and so well written.

To each their own, I guess.

Elliot Rodger

His text was unique, written brilliantly, and is part of history.

because i don't think any other men in the world is capable of grasp the complexity and intricacies of my words, i'm truly the heir of the entirely roman tradition, and i dare to say i'm bigger than anyone before me
