Cavedog_pdx: Orson Scott Card - Ender's Game
arkibet: I really enjoyed the Harry Potter Series, so I'll go with J.K. Rowling. It's sad really, because I feel like I should have a more intelligent choice. But sometimes, you appreciate the fluff.
chisainikkoo: Laurell K. Hamilton (but I don't know if she counts since she's not a he)
Ardos: E. Nesbit & the Treasureseekers, who incidently is a she not a he (you chauvanist prick!).

cscottk: Charles DeLint, favorite book, Someplace to be Flying
