Today's Question: Favourite Authors. Who do you have named in your LT account as favourite authors? Why did you choose them? How many people share your choices? Can you share a picture of one of them?
It actually took me about twenty minutes to figure out exactly where to find the author stats, imagine my feeling of dummy-ness when I realized it was right there on the main profile page. I can tell this is going to be a week where Friday can’t come soon enough!
As you probably guessed, this isn’t an LT feature I’ve used very much. I do have a few authors listed as favourites, some are authors I have read and loved for many years and others I had added to have easy access to series/new book info. Below are some photos I love of Hunter S. Thompson (RIP)

Great photos of Thompson. Such a sad story there. He's one of my favorites, too.
LOLOL! What a list! :) I need to get my post done...too busy reading blogs.
I think you read heavier stuff than I do.
I guess you are one of the ones I share 3 favorites with (DC, JCO, and MA)
I love Christopher Moore and Kurt Vonnegut. Great choices on your favorite authors.

I love the way you did your list (and the photos are fantastic).
Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. My reading is pretty eclectic, I will read just about everything :)
Douglas Coupland! How did I ever forget Douglas Coupland??
Great list of authors!
Ooh, I LOVE Jim Butcher - I haven't read Small Favor yet, but I'm dying to!
