Which authors would you unreservedly recommend to people?
Byatt. Tolkien. (Actually, that's not really true in either case - I'd not recommend them to people with clearly different tastes who I don't think would appreciate them, but I certainly gush over them and love them.) Roald Dahl. There are probably more.
Who do you love to read again and again?
Hm, not necessarily the same thing at all, that... for instance, I like rereading Eddings, but I definitely wouldn't recommend him to most people. Tolkien works here, though, haven't reread any Byatt yet as I've only know her a year or two and still haven't read everything by her.
Which authors do you think are consummate artists?
Er. Not sure how to interpret that.
Which authors do you gush over?

No, the experiences I remember were largely positive.

Oh, I meant mostly his children's books, haven't read all of his adult stuff either.

Goodkind. And whoever wrote that Hanna Montana "Crush-tastic" book.

Re: I am not longer a twelve-year old girl, and therefore I do not gush.

Robert Anton Wilson, Jung, and I'm getting to be gushy over Steinbeck.

Wodehouse, Orwell, and Douglas Adams. I'll never tire of reading and rereading their books. *NM*

R.A. Salvatore. I know it's absurd but his Drizzt novels get me misty, esp when his dwarves grieve.
