I suck at choosing absolute favourites, I like far too much stuff for that, but okay...

Who is your favourite sci-fi writer? Why?
Don't have one. I'm not actually sure there's any sci-fi writer I've read more than one book by, unless you count Douglas Adams.
Who is your favourite fantasy writer? Why?
I'm still inclined to say Tolkien for pure fantasy. Nobody else is immediately jumping to mind for speculative fiction as a whole, either...
Who is your favourite author overall? Why?
I'll say A.S. Byatt. There are definitely other candidates, but I liked all of her books that I've read (which is most of them), and loved a sufficient number to put her in that spot, I think. Of course I might name somebody else tomorrow, but Byatt would still be in the top three or so.
As to why, I'm not sure. I guess I really like her standard combinations of themes (romantic and family relationships, art & literature, social changes and evolutions, religion appear in essentially all of her works), and she's a very solid and reliable writer for the most part.
Favourite authors.

I thought the beauty of the question is that it asked for ONE author to each question. *NM*

Well, I did give one author to the question I could answer. I just added a bunch of others after. :p *NM*

I know. I do read some - but somehow it's usually one book per author.

The questions get easier as I go from top to bottom for me.

You and I actually agree on something?!

I think you mean to be surprised that we agree about something book-related.
