Seems we've got a lot of Fantasy/sci-fi fans round here. I'm another.
Anne McCaffrey, Tad Williams (especially the Otherland series about The Net), Heinlein (love the way he writes about cats - class), Marion Zimmer Bradley (she of The Mists Of Avalon), Terry Brooks, Charles de Lint (Canadian Urban Fantasy author - blends native & celtic myths into urban settings), Feist (especially the Magician series & The Empire series with Janny Wurts), Janny Wurts, Robert Jordan (started off really well, but when is he ever gonna finish it!?!?!?), Stephen Lawhead, Juliet Marillier, Elizabeth Moon's Paksenarrion & Gird series, Sheri S Tepper (great womens sci-fi/fantasy) and Melanie Rawn (been waiting ages for the next in one of her series).
Then there's Stephen King (new & old), Nicholas Sparks (he of Message in a Bottle), Anne Rice (will she ever stop writing about vampires?!?!?), Stuart Harrison (a NZer living in London), Nicholas Evans & Barbara Erskine.
I'm a prolific reader too. I'm also the Aunty who only buys books for birthday & Xmas gifts. I've just found out that my soon-to-be-10yo niece is currently reading the 3rd Harry Potter book (it had smaller type than the one I'm currently reading!!!) so I'll get her the 3rd in the Lion, Witch & Wardrobe series (which I also loved as a kid), plus see if I can get a nice hardcover copy of the 1st Harry Potter book too.
