Who is your favorite author or writer? please explain why?

In fact I do not have a favorite writer or a specific book, but I love and the best reading stories, novels, cookbooks and books in the field of nutrition specialist

“I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.” Khalil Gibran

I have many favourite authors, but since this question asks for one favourite author, I'd go ahead and say, Khalil Gibran.

His best known work is undoubtedly wonderful which are beautiful philosophical essays written in romantic prose poetry.He is one of the best selling poets of all time. His work seems like the ramblings of a rustic nomad from another era and is intensely focused on life, love, work, society and what it means to live. There is a lot of spirituality, spiritual love and mysticism in his work. His work is entirely without guile, politics, agendas. Not only his writing style undeniably exquisite and charming but also uninfluenced by the trappings of any one religion. I feel re-energized, peaceful and powerful every time I read something he wrote.His writing is tranquil and rich with imagery at the same time. A lot of idiots think that Khalil Gibran's writing is simplistic or that he espouses any one kind of philosophy. He reminds me of the Indian mystic, Kabir whose writing was loved by the masses but also resonated with  deep and harsh truths.So, why do I love Gibran's writing? I love his "style", which is rich, ornate and poetic. I love his teachings which have no preaching but a celebration of life. I love his opinions that combine practicality with mysticism, respect for women with an ability to overstep religion, and yet understand it. His writing style is romantic, lyrical and all yet once minimalist and sharp.

My favorite writer is Charles Dickens

“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.” Charles Dickens

He was a well-loved and prolific British social critic and author of numerous works that are now considered classics.

He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters. Dickensian characters are amongst the most memorable in English literature. His plots were carefully constructed, and he often wove elements from topical events into his narratives. Satire, flourishing in his gift for caricature, is his forte. Dickens's creative genius has been praised by fellow writers for its realism, comedy, prose style, unique characterizations, and social criticism. David Copperfield is regarded by many as a veiled autobiography of Dickens. Dickens's novels were, among other things, works of social commentary. He was a fierce critic of the poverty and social stratification of the society.

His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognized him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.

Alvin and Heidi Toffler, they have written semifiction with such logic and conviction, it looks real.

Future shock, powershift and the third wave are the books you should read if you want a glimpse of analytic minds of the management gurus.
