Re: Which authors do you gush over? Stephen Send a noteboard - 06/10/2010 05:13:12 PM
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.

Dahl? Which works in particular? *NM* Ghavrel - 06/10/2010 12:37:41 AM 261 Views
Pretty much all of them? Why, have you had bad experiences with him? *NM* Legolas - 06/10/2010 12:41:58 AM 241 Views
No, the experiences I remember were largely positive. Ghavrel - 06/10/2010 03:10:38 AM 597 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 576 Views

Robert Anton Wilson, Jung, and I'm getting to be gushy over Steinbeck. Panorphaeon - 07/10/2010 06:22:40 AM 603 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 288 Views
I think Ted Dekker might be my favorite author now. *NM* ranagrande - 10/10/2010 01:36:08 AM 260 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 704 Views
