I'm starting to read again, and I've decided to brave the libraries again :) The reason why I'm writing this is that I need recommendations. Who are your favourite authors? What book should I read

Oh god, I'd recommend everything ever by Neil Gaiman. Good Omens, American Gods, Neverwhere, and The Graveyard Book are all great reads, and incorporate some really fun fantasy elements in new and interesting ways

I saw the Hitchhiker's Guide movie and I imagine the books are at least as interesting as it, and I've had another friend recommend Marquez 9though she said one Hundred Years of Solitude is a bit too long winded and she might have said 'boring', but I'm not sure ^_^)
My friend from work will bring one of her two Vonnegut books, probably Slaughterhouse-five.
I'll write down everything you've mentioned and look for them. Thank you :)

You're welcome!
The Hitchhiker books are much more interesting than the movie, which was mostly just goofy. You'll probably like them more. One Hundred Years of Solitude did drag a little in the middle, I'll agree, but I loved the ending so much that to me it made up for it.

Hee, fancy that indeed. Oh, you must tell me what you think of Little Brother - the first time I read it, I was glued to my screen for eight hours straight, and wanted to go buy it immediately but by then the bookstores were closed. :D

I do hope you like a few of them!
