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?
Pratchett, Wodehouse, Gaiman and Douglas Adams. My recent "discovery" of italo Calvino has made me want to read everything he has written, but alas the restraints of time and money mean I have only read one of his works.
Who do you love to read again and again?
Terry Pratchett and JK Rowling, well the first five Potter books anyway.
Which authors do you think are consummate artists?
He isn't an author for the most part, but I adore WB Yeats poetry.

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.
