Inspired by the thread "What is..." where we found out the MORE in Movie, Music, TV, and More could mean books, here is the question.

Who is your favorite author as of right now?

My personal favorite is Tom Clancy. His series that he produces the storyline for and someone else writes, Netforce, is what I am currently finishing up. They aren't as good as his books, but they are still great. He goes into so much detail on all of this high-tech equipment and military procedures that its amazing. The last book I read by him was Hunt for Red October, which was really good, and short compared to most of his other books. Its not even half the size of Rainbow Six, which was his first actual book that I read.
