Actually I pay attention more on the book/subject/story than the author , but I like some brazilian authors like Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Álvares de Azevedo (both wrote poetry too), Machado de Assis, José de Alencar, Lygia Fagundes Telles (at the moment I remembering only these ones, but there's more:aah:) and some another foreign authors too like Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe and especially Diana Wynne Jones :biggrin2:
