Probably JK, I've already read the other two.

Suzanne Collins

Tippie Hippie said...

OMG not Suzanne Collins - Jackie Collins

Kels said...

Is this serious? Who would choose Stephanie Meyer over JK? I mean seriously, what.

Freya said...

JK and I don't mean Just Kidding.

Sweetie said...

Why would you even put JK Rowling in the company of the other two? The hunger games books were clearly written by committee and calling Stephenie Meyer an author is like calling me a model because I did a hair show in 1987.

FSP said...

I don't like these choices. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Kelly said...

I'm in on Jackie Collins!

Kristin Wigs said...

Suzanne Collins.

Amber said...

Which one keeps her class ring on during sexy times?

AKM said...

JK. I'm not doing Twilight EVER and Hunger Games doesn't really interest me, either. However, I'm a HP fan fo life, yo.

Beetlejuice said...

I agree with FSP

But Collins wrote Hunger Games, no? Thats my shit too.

JK

Team JK (also a proud member of D.A.)

JKR for sure

Rowling. This isn't even close.

"Harry Potter is all about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing what is right in the face of adversity… Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend.”

-Robin Browne


And "The Hunger Games" is a completely non-credible dystopia whose heroine takes a whole novel to figure out who her real enemy is, when she's been told, in so many words, exactly who her enemy is in the first chapter.

Merlin D. Bear said...

Is there any doubt?
J.K. Rowling.
The other 2 are Rowling knock offs.

I love dystopian tales. Well written ones
I loathe Myers. Seriously, I read some of the books because students were talking about them all the time
I LOVE J. K.
Potter and her latest works.

Gayeld said...

Is that even a real question? JK Rowling is the only author on the list.

crila16 said...

JK all the way.

Putting JK Rowlings impeccable gift for storytelling against these two is disrespectful.

First choice, JK. Second choice, Suzanne Collins. Third choice, anything else including, but not limited to, the back of a cereal box, public restroom walls, and Katie Price's 'autobiographies.' Then, and only then, do I get to Stephanie Meyer.

Marieeee said...

Worst question ever. Anyone who doesn't pick Rowling should be immediately killed.

amused bush said...

I'm going to go with Francine Pascal - Lila Fowler is my spirit animal.

Anotheramy said...

1 and 3, not Twilight.

Hammer_Girl said...

If I'm gonna vamp out then it is mandatory the vampires don't sparkle and they feed off a freaking human.

Wizards and the like, I'm partial to Jim Butcher.

And I don't know who the Collins woman is, no offense.

Sandy said...

Rowling. HP may not be great literature, but it's better than the "romance/fantasia posing as dystopian future" Collins has spewed out, and don't get me started on the moronic thinly-veiled Mormon abstinence tract drivel Meyers "created."

Bleh.

Alicia said...

Robin Mckinley for a real author when it comes to vampire stories - check out Sunshine - best vamp book evah

But seriously this post is just to piss people off - everyone knows there's only one author on that list

Baka Neko said...

None, hunger games and Harry potter were good but haven't seen anything else either author did that was good. Twilight was written badly and promoted abuse so neither.

Unknown said...

JK Rowling!! :)

rhinovodka said...

Death.I don't like any of them. I hate book series, they become repetitive and boring after a while.

nurysp said...

JKKKKK!!!!!

listen im a grown woman and a totall harry potter girl
those books are amazing

Anothergrayhare said...

Never read Harry Potter or Twilight or Hunger Games, but The Cuckoo's Calling - JK's latest book published under a pseudonym -- was excellent.

Snapdragon said...

The Casual Vacancy and Cuckoo's Calling were pretty damned good. JK all the way.

Cashonistas said...

JK. Dumb question.

kalabee said...

JK all the way, every time and always.

sarah.estell said...

What a stupid question. JK no contest. I would rather reread the entire Harry Potter series than one word of Stephanie Meyers.

Worstcompanytoworkfor said...

I don't read little kids books so I choose Stephanie.

Jessie said...

JK for sure. Collins' last book in the trilogy was so rushed. I wish she could have a do over.


@worstcompanytoworkfor the story in the Harry Potter books is much more complex and mature than the Twilight series.

Unknown said...

Rowling, no contest.

NaughtyNurse said...

JK Rowling. The other two can barely put together a coherent sentence.

Sherry said...

Oh thanks JAS! Now I can't choose any of these literary twits. There goes Suzanne Collins. Say spoiler alert will ya?
(No offense to anyone who enjoys these authors. None are to my reading tastes but I'm hearing from everyone that JK should have been my pick.)

OKay said...

@worst Wrong. If you've read Stephanie, that's about as juvenile as it gets.

JK for me of course, although I will happily read Suzanne Collins and Jackie Collins too!

it took forever said...

jk rowling

Mary Ann said...

J.K. Rowling

Kloie said...

Yes! Lila Fowler is way better than that bitch, Jessica Wakefield.

Anonymous said...

Grayhare: I enjoyed it too

We should start a book club. I'll be Jennifer Byrnes.

Sweet Valley High : it's like I'm 12 again. Bless!

Its just U said...

I'd rather be illiterate.

Unknown said...

No contest--JK Rowling

Jwill said...

JK Rowling

Unknown said...

JK Rowling!!! I was so sad when I finished the last book..I could live in that world for forever! (Sad, yes, i know)

I made the mistake of trying to read the Twilight books thinking they would be as good as Harry Potter..one of the worst literary commercial successes I can think of.

I also liked the Collins trilogy but the first book was by far the best and the second and then def. the third felt like they were rushed...
