Was thinking about the October Book Club and how wonderful Kazuo Ishiguro is, with his deep understanding of humanity and his ability to paint subtle pictures with words. I need to replace the books by him that I left behind in hostels.


Soooo.

Which authors would you unreservedly recommend to people?

Who do you love to read again and again?

Which authors do you think are consummate artists?


^Not this strongly^, but I do just about unreservedly recommend him to people. Definitely pick up The Chronoliths or Spin. His other books are incredible, but those are the best.

Dahl? Which works in particular? *NM* Ghavrel - 06/10/2010 12:37:41 AM 209 Views
Pretty much all of them? Why, have you had bad experiences with him? *NM* Legolas - 06/10/2010 12:41:58 AM 186 Views
No, the experiences I remember were largely positive. Ghavrel - 06/10/2010 03:10:38 AM 485 Views
Oh, I meant mostly his children's books, haven't read all of his adult stuff either. Legolas - 06/10/2010 10:04:56 AM 466 Views

Robert Anton Wilson, Jung, and I'm getting to be gushy over Steinbeck. Panorphaeon - 07/10/2010 06:22:40 AM 488 Views
Wodehouse, Orwell, and Douglas Adams. I'll never tire of reading and rereading their books. *NM* RandAllThor - 08/10/2010 08:18:03 PM 240 Views
I think Ted Dekker might be my favorite author now. *NM* ranagrande - 10/10/2010 01:36:08 AM 213 Views
R.A. Salvatore. I know it's absurd but his Drizzt novels get me misty, esp when his dwarves grieve. Bookwyrm - 12/10/2010 04:57:38 PM 594 Views
