Oz Zee wrote:A tie between Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy --- just shortly after reading a few lines from their novels, you can feel your primary life slipping away life sand seeping through a punctured sack, and all of a sudden you are in this second life that has turned into a reality. The way they've decribe, not in detail but in experience, the atmosphere of the setting, the feelings of each character in a particular event (let it be a minor character; e.g butler, or a dog), is a wake up call to anyone who's been living in zombie mode.
Simply daily events have turned into something spectacular and exciting, from such scenes as being conscious of having murdered an old lady and having the realization that you may have just gotten away with it, to the short yet thrilling scene before proposing marriage to the woman of your life.
Both writers are almost two centuries old, but they continue to change lives. How infinite must that be?

Julia Quinn - she is an amazing writer her works are more on historical romance but very witty.
Judith McNaught - her more earlier works are more popular also historical romance but her characters are endearing to me and most of them made me cry!
So these are my top 3 romance writer coz once again i'm a hopeless romantic...
Then for YA there is Julie Kagawa - love her Iron Fey Series and her latest The Immortal Series, she is great at world building. I never care for fey stories before but she made me a fan of her works and introduced me to Cait Sith that darn CAt! hehehe!
Veronica Roth - i just love her first book Divergent..now i have my Insurgent as well!
Cassandra Clare - love her Mortal Instruments Series...never liked any other stories with demon-angel fighting in them till i discovered hers. i really like all the characters but have yet to read City of Fallen Angels and the Infernal Devices Series.
Now I should have read more classics as well with the likes of Jane Austen and Emily Bronte..but i have seen the film adaptations of the ff:
Pride and Prejudice - Kiera Knightly version...woooow i was giggling towards the end of the movie when Elizabeth and Darcy both separately asked her father approval for her hand in marriage. And her sisters were like "we thought she hated or didn't like Mr. Darcy and such" hahaha...i love it!
Emma - with Romola Garai, i really really love her interpretation of Emma compare to the others that i've seen. "Badly done Emma, badly done indeed!".

She is just a classic and all of her books speaks about femininity and the universal language of love, despair, hope and she speaks the mind of a woman . Its also ironic that she has written about marriage and she died a spinster, its like it will leave you wondering . Thats all <3
