3. J.K. Rowling
4. C.S. Lewis
5. This position is saved for Stephanie Meyer. I haven't read her books, but I know that when I will, she'd be my favourite author too.

In my last post, I had said that Stephenie Meyer would later turn out to be one of my favourite authors. I've changed my mind. My future fave author will be... me!
