Author's Top Ten
A difficult yet not impossible task.... heres my list
[I had submitted this to a www.Mouthshut.com event)
1: ENID BLYTON [1897-1968]
She tops my list. and always will. I was introduced to the world of book reading with her books.
Prior to that i was much involved in disney comics, Amar Chitra Katha and the many other comics. Her books- ranging to a thousand opened up to me a whole new world of fantasy while at the same time improved my vocabulary and language. To me she will always be the best
My Blyton Favs:
The Malory Tower Series
The Famous Five Series
The Noddy Series
The Adventure Series.

2:J K ROWLING
Of course she needs no intro at all. Her Harry Potter Series has captured my heart . Today I am a proud owner of all her five books. One other thing that i absolutely love about her books is that each character or action in the book has been well thought of. Each has a proper history. No random writings hers are.... I hope she continues writing even after her 7 book series on Harry ends.
My JK Favs
Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone
Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets
Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban
Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

3:ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE [1859-1930]
I absolutely dig his Sherlock Series. The adventures of the eccentric, quick witted and very talented Mr Holmes are anyways a rage. Reading and Rereading these books is a pleasure
My Doyle Favs
The Hound of the Baskervilles
The Sign of Four
A Study In Scarlet

4:P G WODEHOUSE [1881-1975]
I shall call him the father of English humour and satire.He is best known as the creator of the irredeemably dim and unflaggingly affable Bertie Wooster and his invincible valet Jeeves. Reading his books makes me smile and laugh inwardly. His are not works that u chuckle loudly. The next best thing about his books are his language and sentence constructs. I call it elite. I just love those books..
Psst.. the famous search engine Ask Jeeves takes inspiration from the famous butler Jeeves the pet character in Wodehous Books
My Wodehouse favs
Pigs Have Wings
Very Good, Jeeves!
The Code of the Woosters (Collector’s Wodehouse)
The Adventures of Sally

5:RICHMAL CROMPTON [1890-1969]
I discovered her in the dusty store of my school library. Her books on the incredible William are just soooo hillarious. I call William the Dennis (of the Dennis the Menace fame) of the early 20th century.There are 38 books in the William series all ranging from 1922 to 1970. i recommend it to all u book lovers out there.
My Crompton Favs

6:MARK TWAIN [1835-1910]

My Twain Favs
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

7:AGATHA CHRISTIE [1890-1976]
Appropriately called the Queen of Crime Fiction, how could one forget Agatha Christie. I remember the time when in school we had to have a Christie in our bag. Whether it was Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple, hers books have always been a delight.
My Christie Favs:
Crooked House
A Murder is Announced
A Pocket Full of Rye
Ordeal by Innocence
