Well, this is like asking about your favorite book.
No, I don’t have any favorite author. Yes, I have many favorite authors.
That is all to be said. That is what says everything.
Okay, so I am going to make a list of all those authors I liked (in no particular order) and what I liked about them:
1. J.d. Salinger- Direct straightforward approach in writing
2. John Green- Understanding of teenage and true narration of coming of age
3. J.K. Rowling- Weaving a superb fantasy world
4. Sidney Sheldon- Hard-paced thriller; page turner content
5. Stephen King- Perfect blend of mysticism and spookiness
6. Jeffrey Archer- Wonderful depictions of a person’s psychology
7. Kathryn Stockett- Joyful writing about a serious issue
8. Marcia Willet- Dramatic and heart-touching writing
9. Dan Brown- Symbols and conspiracy theory
10. Kazuo Ishiguro- Life stories bared; what else to say!?
11. Rick Riordan- Mythological content presented for the young ; easy to understand and enjoy
12. Suzzane Collins- Planning and plotline
13. Mitch Albom- Understanding life for all its complexities and accepting its end
14. Khaled Hosseini- Heart wrenching tales of unfortunate people, tangled in the web of war
15. Paulo Coelho- Spirituality and metaphors
16. Amitav Ghosh- Words you would treasure; characters you won’t forget
17. Jhumpa Lahiri- Inspiring with the tales of family and mature relationships
18. Sylvia Plath- Raw emotions portrayed in a way that creates a gaping hole in the chest
19. John Grisham- Stories that leave a message and keep you entertained
20. Stephen Chbosky- Gently caressing story, speaking of the wonders of friendship
If you like Dan Brown you should try James Rollins, he does the same sorta thing only better in my opinion.

I think its important to read trash-well let’s call it pedestrian literature. It is relaxing and it keeps the focus on what real people are reading and like.

Yes, it does give you the idea of the reading scenario at a given point of time.
Moreover, it is entertaining and makes quite a good read.
