Poll

Can't decide. The ones I like all have very different styles of writing.

can't decide either...

I don't think this is a fair poll. How can one judge who the better writer is? They all are wonderful writers.

Daphne du Maurieris better than all of these.

I don't like Hemingway and don't know the others.

I agree as I don't like him either but I have read a book by all the rest except for the last one. I have found it doesn't much matter to me how well they write but to me it greatly matters WHAT THE STORY IS THAT THEY ARE TELLING. If its an exciting story I want to read it but if its a boring story forget it or if they are MCPs like Hemingway I don't want to read their narrow male viewpoints.

Connie Willis is a wonderful SciFi/TimeTravel writer. The only problem is that most of her writing was done in the 80s and 90s and most younger people haven't read anything by her. To put her below Collins is especially awful...

I think Kiersten White is one of my favorites.
Now, while she hasn't created my favorite book of all time, I loved how, in And I Darken, she weaved and threaded important subject matter into a Historical setting, that, in many other books, would probably just be a "historical setting". I definitely need to read more of her books.

It's hard to say since I haven't read any of them.

I'm not trying to get after anyone, but how is Hemingway not #1? He's one of the all time greatest writers. I've read Riordan and while his stuff is entertaining, it's not the best written.

This is kinda hard to compare; Half of them are young adult authors from the 2010s, and then there is just Ernest Hemingway lol
