No favourite. I re-read LotR and Silmarillion at least once a year but that doesn't make Tolkien my favourite over -say- Dostoyevski, whom I haven't read in years. Else? Poe is named above... I'll thump whoever says cliché when I name Shakespeare... Spencer Holst is interesting. Caesar if it's in Latin... and many many others.

You are simply wrong for liking Shakespear it is unreadable crap. I prefer losing an arm over having to read it. I had to at school and I have never forgiven them.

Kudos for liking Poe though, he is the real master of the English language

If you want mastery of language - to me it is indisputably Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad.

Poe's 'The Raven' is the absolute hight imho. Wilson's 'Futility' is a great second best

I'll sacrifice you on an altar for a single verse of his Sonnets sir!
