Some books just has the power to drag you in and make you feel like you are
part of the happenings in the book and like the characters are your best friends
or closest family. Some authors have the amazing ability to write books beyond
anything that pierce your heart and soul and bring you unfathomable joy and
sadness. This page is dedicated to those authors and to those books. To the
authors, I want
to say a heart- and soulfelt
THANK YOU!!
for giving me these experiences and all those wonderful, joyful and sad hours!
I could never express enough my admiration and wonder for the authors of such
great books.
The reason I list all these books is so that you can see what books I know a lot about. I would love if you were interested in any of the books or authors I have read and wrote to ask me about it or if you wanted to discuss a book or an author with me.

John Irving
Writes contemporary books with amazing characters and stories that pierce your
heart and soul with joy and sadness. Some of his books (not all of them though)
are simply masterpieces. John Irving is one of the greatest authors of our
times.
Best Book: " A Prayer for Owen Meany " Other Good Books: "A Son of the Circus", "Hotel New Hampshire", "The World According To Garp"

Terry Pratchett
Writes mostly comical fantasy with wonderful characters and amazing stories.
Most of his books are about people on Discworld; a flat planet situated on top
of four elephants which stand on the back of the turtle Great A'Tuin which is
slowly making it's way through the universe! Can you even begin to imagine what
can be possible on such an impossible world? :)
Best Books: "Lords and Ladies", "Wyrm Sisters" Other Good Books: "Good Omens" (with Neil Gaiman), all other Discworld Novels.

Orson Scott Card
Writes a lot of science fiction and some fantasy. Most of his books don't
concentrate on the story so much as on the relationships between the
characters, which he describes and developes with uncomparable skill and
knowledge of the human mind. Noteworthy of Cards writing is that it is
always at least very good!
Best Book: " Ender's Game " Other Good Books: " Wyrms ", all of his books!

Peter Pohl
Writes contemporary books, often about teenagers. Has a stunning ability to
describe peoples' innermost feelings and make you want to weep with sadness and
sing with joy together with the characters of his books.
Best Book: "Jag saknar dig, jag saknar dig" (with Kinna Gieth) Other Good Books: "De stora penslarnas lek", "Vi kallar honom Anna", "Regnbågen har bara 8 färger". All his books are very good!
