Finally Something Simple I can answer

My favorite authors are: In no certain order.

Dean Koontz
Edgar Allan Poe
Clive Barker

And a few unknowns that I share poems and stories with online. Words are the greatest and most beautiful things in the world. In my humble opinion. Later.

Nicholas Monsarrat

I read almost exclusively military history auto-biographies, so most of the authors are just "one-book-wonders" so to speak.

Not sure I could get into trouble for this, but I've never actually read any of the stories here.

<ducking>

 

[daughter]

good grief? what genre?

Immediately these authors come to mind:

Merle Collins
Jamaica Kincaid
Alice Walker
Zora Neale-Hurston
Gloria Naylor
D.H. Lawrence
Anais Nin
Chinua Achebe
Theodore Dreiser
Ralph Ellison

Would have been easier to name titles or poets.

Peace,

daughter

SilverVeil, SilverVeil, SilverVeil, you are a woman after my own heart. I believe our names both reflect our love for Ms. Lackey.

Yours is from the Griffon Series I beleive ? (Or is that Gryffon ? People spell it different all the time.)

He's not on my favorite author list, but The Stand is on my favorite books of all time list. Strange, huh?

I agree with you there, Rubyfruit - I LOVE "The Stand" (though I can't get Molly Ringwald out of my head now when I re-read it....BAD casting of Fran in the movie, IMHO...)

SOME of my favorite authors include:

Elmore Leonard
Donald Westlake (especially the "Dortmunder" series)
P. G. Wodehouse (especially the "Jeeves and Wooster) series
Terry Brooks (though I've only read the "Magic Kingdom for Sale" series...and would like to write the screenplay for a film version)
Pat Conroy
Cormac McCarthy
Richard Russo
Robert Nye (I'm in the middle of reading "The Late Mr. Shakespeare"...and it's brilliant. Can't wait to read his others.....

The Stand

Who knew so many people liked that book? I've read it several times and am still fascinated by it.

 

[Scabbers]

Can I quote myself?

William Trevor, best known (maybe) for Felicia's Journey. Great short stories, particularly "The Ballroom of Romance."

Guess so.

Just learned that William Trevor has a new short story in the current issue of The New Yorker called "Justina's Priest". Check it out.
